#RFKJr.RunningforUSPresidentin2028

Despite the official denial, speculation continues due to movements from allies and criticism from family members:
Statements from RFK Jr.: He stated that his current focus is on the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the agenda "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA).
Family Position:
His wife, actress Cheryl Hines, also declared in December 2025 that he does not plan to run in 2028.
In contrast, his cousin Jack Schlossberg stated in March 2026 that RFK Jr. "will definitely" be a candidate, describing his support base as "almost a cult".
Political Context: The rumors were fueled by criticism from activist Laura Loomer, who accused Kennedy's aides of using their positions in government to lay the groundwork for 2028. In addition, a super PAC linked to him held organizational meetings, which raised further suspicions.

At the moment, Kennedy maintains the position that he will serve in the Trump administration until the end of the term.
