A source with supposed close ties to the presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has apparently relayed to a group of the candidate’s supporters that the rumored announcement of his vice presidential candidate coincides with Kennedy’s scheduled trip to Honolulu, Hawaii.
If these speculations prove accurate, political observers suggest that former Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard may emerge as the running mate for Kennedy. Given Gabbard’s recent pivot towards the center-right, analysts are considering this a strategic move for the Kennedy campaign.
While some voices within the Kennedy camp support the notion that entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy would be the ideal vice presidential candidate, there is a growing sentiment that Gabbard’s alignment with Kennedy’s values may indeed make her a formidable choice.

The interactions between Kennedy and Gabbard have been notable, characterized by a level of mutual respect. Gabbard, in particular, defended Kennedy against what she labels as ‘baseless lies’ from Democrats on ‘Fox News Tonight’ in June 2023. During the same month, Kennedy himself hinted at Gabbard’s potential role in his administration, suggesting her as a candidate for Secretary of State.
Kennedy expressed admiration for Gabbard’s diplomatic skills, emphasizing her understanding of the need to disentangle from global conflicts and dismantle the war machine. Their ideological alignment, marked by a willingness to break from party orthodoxy, has been evident since Gabbard’s departure from the Democratic Party in 2022, citing it as an “elitist cabal of warmongers.”
Should the teaming up push through, they will face the incumbent team of US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
