Donald Trump has officially added Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard to his presidential transition team. Both Kennedy, a former independent presidential candidate, and Gabbard, a former Democratic Representative, have endorsed Trump in his current campaign. They are set to serve as honorary co-chairs, a move that highlights Trump's strategy to build a coalition across partisan lines. This decision comes as Trump aims to strengthen his team with diverse voices, potentially impacting policy and personnel decisions should he win the presidency. Trump spokesman Brian Hughes confirmed the appointments, and they join Trump’s sons and running mate Senator JD Vance in shaping the transition team.
