Leaked recordings of a phone call between former President Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. showed Trump endorsing vaccine skepticism and discussing a variety of topics, including an assassination attempt on Trump. Kennedy's son, Bobby Kennedy III, posted the video on social media but later deleted it, prompting an apology from Kennedy Jr. Trump urged Kennedy to endorse him and expressed skepticism towards vaccines, suggesting they cause drastic changes in babies. The leaked call highlighted Trump's efforts to secure Kennedy's support to avoid splitting votes in the upcoming election. Kennedy expressed regret over the leak and apologized for the incident.
