When it comes to who might head the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in his administration, Ron DeSantis is ready to cross party lines.
During an interview with Outkick, the 2024 Republican presidential candidate suggested that Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. would be a good choice for either appointed role.
“Yes, the medical stuff. I’m very good on that,” DeSantis said. “So that does appeal to me. … In that regard, it’s like, ‘OK, if you’re President, you know, sic him on the FDA, if he’d be willing to serve, or sic him on CDC.'”
Kennedy, whose vaccine skepticism predates DeSantis’ pandemic-driven interest in it, recently said that COVID-19 was “ethnically targeted” to spare Jewish and Chinese people. He has since said he should have been “more careful” with his words.
Though DeSantis trusts Kennedy with medicine and the food supply, he still isn’t entertaining the idea of Kennedy as a running mate, given the Democrat’s views on “affirmative action” not aligning with the “broad coalition.”
“He’s more liberal, you know, very liberal on some. I mean, he used to say — I don’t know if he still believes this — that, you know, if you deny climate change, you should go to jail, things like that. So it’s like. conservative voters, you know, they would want those positions fleshed out and, you know, he opposed the affirmative action ruling to say, you know, you can’t racially discriminate on that,” DeSantis explained.
“He would have wanted that to remain,” DeSantis added. “So I just think at the end of the day, you know, you need somebody that’s going to reflect the values of the broad coalition.”
DeSantis had previously ruled out Kennedy as a running mate during an interview on “Wisconsin Right Now.”
“He and I have worked together on (Dr. Anthony) Fauci and I think he’s right on Fauci and I think there are issues that we can align, but I think on the bulk of issues, I think he’s a liberal Democrat and so I’m going to choose somebody that is going to be conservative if elected,” the Governor said.
Meanwhile, people betting on the 2024 race seem to think Kennedy has a better chance of getting elected President than DeSantis.
The Election Betting Odds website, which aggregates investor sites including Betfair, Smarkets, PredictIt and Polymarket, shows investors continuing to cool on the Florida’s Governor’s White House quest being fulfilled in 2024.
DeSantis’ 5.5% chance of winning places him in a fading third place in the overall White House chase. Kennedy, with 7.2% odds, and California Gov. Gavin Newsom, with 5.8% odds, are both above him.

The only appointments Rhonda needs to worry about are the appointment they need up at the Psychiatrist office, at the appointment with the divorce attorney once he’s done failing Casey.

“Yes, the medical stuff. I’m very good on that,” DeSantis said. Imagine if your new doctor said that–how fast would you run for your life?

OMG. What f*cking Bizzaro world does this man live in?
Same for the people screaming “GROOMER!” “WOKE!”.
Reagan’s “Big Tent” sure turned into a circus. Now the freaks in the sideshow are headlining under the big top, and the price of the ticket is our tax dollars along with our democracy.
Even the Greatest Show on Earth more or less shut down. Just like the GOP should.

Good afternoon America,
Appointing RFK to anything within the Desantis Administration would totally whizz off the left.

Thats whe we’re gonna do it.
Thank you America,

Why do you think “wizzing off the left” is good policy that will actually make the country.
Also, you’re pedophile Earl. You belong in prison for what you did to that child.

You know, he needs a hidden shocker collar that, you know, zaps 0.5him every time he, you know, says “you know.”

One of 0.5his Nazi pals could head the Civil Rights Division.
BTW–Even the original Nazis took public health seriously . . . for Germans. The moRon falls below them.

Every time Ron DeSantis opens his mouth he proves his total incompetence to lead this great country. Stick a fork in him ….. this goose is cooked!

From the article:
“Yes, the medical stuff. I’m very good on that,” DeSantis said.…..
I guess Floridians didn’t know that Ron DeSantis knew more than the epidemiologists or doctors! DeSantis is an authority on healthcare!
How did we get to this point in America?

Rhonda knows more than epidemiologists and doctors in Florida because he ran them all off. There are none left in Florida. Not even the on-the-job enslavery trained doctors. They all split for Biloxi!

No offense to anybody with his condition, but trying to listen to RFK, Jr. is like bad reception on an am radio station. I think it would be great if Democrats have a primary, but this guy has wrecked the Kennedy name, as if Chappaquiddick, Au Bar, non-stop philandering, Vietnam, didn’t do it already.
Desantis and his sidekicks need to face the music so we can all get back to focusing on Trump and his Jan 6 shenanigans.
