Trump Launches 'Make America Healthy Again' Initiative With RFK JR

Former President Donald Trump is launching a campaign initiative focused on improving Americans’ health. 

President Trump is coalescing with Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who antecedently endorsed the former’s presidential campaign. 

RFK, an environmental lawyer, has focused on combatting America’s myriad health problems, which he claims derive from poor nutrition, toxic chemicals, and inadequate healthcare. 

Following his drop-out from the presidential race, RFK endorsed Trump and created Make America Healthy Again (MAHA), a pro-Trump PAC designed to channel RFK voters into Trump’s camp. 

Trump and RFK are set to host a joint event on September 30th to kickstart MAHA and discuss policy initiatives Trump would take were he to regain the presidency. 

MAHA focuses on habitat preservation, regenerative agriculture, chronic diseases, corporate corruption, and environmental toxin removal. 

During his first Trump rally appearance, RFK underscored Trump’s commitment to pursuing policies that would revert America’s health crisis. 

“One of the issues that he talked about was having safe food and ending the chronic disease epidemic,” RFK said. “Our children are now the unhealthiest, sickest children in the world. Don’t you want healthy children? And don’t you want the chemicals out of our food? And don’t you want the regulatory agencies to be free from corporate corruption? And that’s what President Trump told me that he wanted.”

RFK’s support for Trump has been calculated by some as potentially flipping moderate and Democrat voters into Trump voters. 

The latest polls demonstrate Vice President Kamala Harris leading by a slim margin overall while losing to Trump in some key swing states. 

With a little more than a month to go prior to November's presidential elections, both candidates are expected to focus campaign efforts on crucial swing states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Michigan.

RFK recently attended a Trump rally in Michigan, where he told supporters to ensure they do not pick his name on the ballot, but rather choose Trump’s. 

RFK attempted to remove his name from ballots but was prevented from doing so by Michigan state judges.
