RFK Jr. Event Fuels 2028 Presidential Speculation

Speculation is increasing that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., currently Health and Human Services secretary, is preparing for a 2028 presidential campaign after his super PAC, MAHA, hosted an online event attended by hundreds of supporters and notable figures, including Russell Brand and Tony Robbins. While no explicit announcement was made, the event was widely viewed as an effort to energize the 'Make America Healthy Again' movement and assess campaign infrastructure, with MAHA PAC leader Tony Lyons, Robert Malone, and Stefanie Spear taking prominent roles. Kennedy has gained attention for health policy initiatives, such as persuading food companies to remove artificial dyes. His previous 2024 independent presidential bid was the most successful third-party run since Ross Perot in 1992. Building a competitive 2028 campaign would require expanding Kennedy’s grassroots support and navigating a political landscape that now includes potential tension with Donald Trump, who is asserting influence over Republican contenders. The evolving coalition around Kennedy reflects shifting alliances and priorities in American politics.
