MAGA actor Kevin Sorbo asked his 2.1 million followers on X if Robert F. Kennedy Jr. should replace JD Vance as Donald Trump’s running mate.
“RFK Jr or Vance, who’s your pick?” posed the “Hercules” and “Andromeda” star.
To the chagrin of his own family — including his actor wife, Cheryl Hines — Kennedy ended his moribund independent bid to be elected president in November and threw his support behind the Republican nominee.
Kennedy, 70, told right-wing pundit Tucker Carlson earlier this week he’s been asked to join Trump’s transition team.
There’s been widespread speculation the son of slain Democratic Party champion Bobby Kennedy could wind up in Trump’s cabinet should the 45th president return to power.
But Sorbo and other Trump supporters seem to suggest there may be a higher calling for RFK Jr. in a second Trump administration.
“Candidly, for VEEP, I would prefer RFK, Jr. to Vance,” wrote one Sorbo follower. “But Trump has chosen.”
Vance, a senator from Ohio, has received mixed reviews from some in his own party since being announced as Trump’s vice presidential pick last month. Vance was once one of Trump’s biggest critics before coming to appreciate the 78-year-old Republican leader.
While Sorbo, 65, didn’t organize a social media poll seeking answers to his question, an unscientific examination of replies indicates Trump supporters have rallied around Vance and want to keep him on the ticket.
“Vance wasn’t my first choice, but he’s proven he’s the right guy for the spot,” responded KLRN Radio host and program director Rick Robinson.
Others, like one X user calling himself Leo the Lion, wasn’t happy to see Trump’s pick being questioned with the election just 68 days away.
“I like you Kevin but this is a dumbass question,” that user said.
Kennedy told Variety in January he had no interest in being Trump’s wingman.
“I don’t think my marriage would survive it,” he replied, referring to Hines disagreeing with many of Trump’s policies.
Kennedy on Tuesday appealed to Trump critics to separate his wife from his own political views.
“It’s a really difficult issue for Cheryl,” he told TMZ of his decision to drop out of the race and support Trump. “It’s the opposite of what she would want to do. She went along with it because she loves me and she wanted to be supportive of me. But it was not something that she ever encouraged.”
