Trump says he's going to let RFK Jr. 'pretty much do what he wants'

In his "closing message" in Pennsylvania, just a day before the 2024 election, former President Donald Trump touted his relationship with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Trump called the former independent presidential candidate "a credible guy" and said he’s going to be very involved in his administration.

"Bobby Kennedy, you know, he's a credible guy... He's going to be very much involved. You know, he's got a tremendous view on health and pesticides and all this stuff. And we're not really a healthy country," Trump said.

Then Trump said he would allow RFK Jr. "to pretty much do what he wants."

"Bobby's going to pretty much do what he wants. I want him to do something really important for our country, make people healthier," Trump said.

RFK Jr. previously said he would oversee public health agencies in Trump's administration including the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Agriculture.

Harris expresses support for Puerto Rico on Spanish-language radio show

In a Spanish-language radio interview released Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris again vocalized her support for Puerto Rico.

“My commitment to Puerto Rico is longstanding. Even when I was in the United States Senate as representative of California, I took on a responsibility for myself of also prioritizing the needs of Puerto Rico, because I was aware that Puerto Rico did not have a U.S. senator, and so I was responsible for getting more resources to Puerto Rico," she said in an interview on Univision Radio.

She vowed to continue honoring that commitment "when I am elected president of the United States, God willing, and with the votes of the people listening right now."

She positioned her inclusive approach as a stark contrast to former President Donald Trump's language in recent weeks, which she called "hateful."

“Trump’s comments are hateful [and] are, you know, just furtherance of these tropes that are really unfair and meant to divide and demean people,” she said, citing what Jennifer Lopez said onstage while campaigning for Harris last week.

Harris also called immigration reform “one of [her] highest priorities.”

“The immigration system is just broken,” she said, listing a few of her approaches to fixing it, including securing the border, hiring more asylum judges, creating more humane asylum processes and creating a pathway for "hard-working people" to earn citizenship.

"So tomorrow, we're going to say to Kamala Harris, you are fired. We don't want you in the White House. We don't want you in the Oval Office, we don't want you anywhere near the halls of power," the vice presidential candidate said.

Vance again brought up the recent "garbage" comment controversy, falsely claiming Harris called Trump supporters "garbage."

“So, to Kamala Harris, you shouldn't be calling your citizens garbage. You shouldn't be criticizing people for daring to criticize you for doing a bad job. And our message to the leadership, to the elites of the Democratic Party -- the people of Pennsylvania are not garbage for struggling under your leadership. But tomorrow, the people of Pennsylvania are going to take out the trash in Washington, D.C., and we're going to do it together," Vance said.

Kelly then suggested that she supports Trump because he takes care of the common man.

"He will look out for our boys to our forgotten boys and our forgotten men. Guys like you, who maybe have a beer after work and don't want to be judged by people like Oprah and Beyonce, who will never have to face the consequences of her disastrous economic policies," Kelly said, seemingly referencing Vice President Kamala Harris.
