And this piece from the Atlantic is linked to in the Independent article I posted above, but it's worth giving a look at...it was written before Biden dropped out of the race. The author has been embedded with the Trump campaign for six months.

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held talks this month with former president Donald Trump about endorsing his campaign and taking a job in a second Trump administration, overseeing a portfolio of health and medical issues, according to four people familiar with the matter.
The discussions, which began hours after the attempted assassination of Trump at a rally on July 13, did not result in an agreement amid concerns in Trump’s orbit about the complications of promising a job in exchange for a political endorsement, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations.
“All I will say to you is I am willing to talk to anybody from either political party who wants to talk about children’s health and how to end the chronic disease epidemic,” Kennedy said Monday in an interview, adding that Trump has been more open to him than the Democratic National Committee. “I have a lot of respect for President Trump for reaching out to me. Nobody from the DNC, high or low, has ever reached out to me in 18 months. Instead, they have allocated millions to try to disrupt my campaign.”
Kennedy said he planned to continue his campaign. “We are in it to win it,” he said.
Trump has repeatedly asked campaign advisers, guests at his Mar-a-Lago Club and others if Kennedy would help Biden or him in the presidential contest. He also posed the question for months of whether he should pick Kennedy as his vice president. “Trump-Kennedy,” he would say, has a nice ring to it. But many of his advisers were against the idea, and Trump ended up choosing Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) as his running mate last week.
