News Not Bad Enough for You? RFK Jr. Is Reportedly Considering Another Presidential Run
An event held by his super PAC has people talking.

If you’ve ever looked at Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and thought “I like the work he’s doing undermining vaccines and otherwise putting millions of people’s lives at risk, but I’d like to see it done on a bigger scale,” today is your lucky day. According to a new report, Mr. MAHA may be considering making another presidential run in 2028.

Axios reports that Kennedy’s super PAC “co-hosted an organizing call for supporters and influencers last week,” a move that has stirred “speculation that he’s positioning for a run at the White House in 2028.” The Zoom call brought together hundreds of Kennedy’s supporters and was “aimed at energizing his grassroots ‘Make America Healthy Again’ movement and discussing ways to build enthusiasm for the Health and Human Services secretary.” While a presidential campaign was not “explicitly discussed,” two people familiar with the matter told Axios that they came away from the event “believing it was a step toward another campaign for Kennedy, whose long-shot run in 2024 wound up helping Donald Trump to victory.” The call was reportedly led by Tony Lyons, the cofounder and cochairman of the MAHA super PAC; vaccine skeptic Robert Malone, and Kennedy adviser Stefanie Spear. According to Axios, it was Lyons’s involvement that people saw “as a sign that the PAC would help prepare a campaign and fundraising machine in-waiting for Kennedy, to be ready if he chooses to run.”

How would Kennedy pitch himself to the American people during a second potential shot at the White House? While he would undoubtedly tout his war on synthetic food dyes, he could also run on:

Helping usher in a record-breaking number of measles cases in the US, thanks to his dedication to undermining vaccines
His support for the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which will cause millions of people, many of whom are children, to lose health insurance
The National Cancer Institute cuts that experts warn will “set this nation back dramatically in our ability to reduce death and suffering”
The proposed near total elimination of funding to the CDC’s chronic disease center, despite Kennedy’s claims of being all about fighting chronic disease

It’ll be tricky to fit it all onto a lawn sign, but surely he can come up with some kind of snappy slogan to summarize the above. Or maybe just a photo of him dressed as the grim reaper would suffice.
