Trump Adds Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard to Transition Team
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In campaign news, Donald Trump has added two former Democrats to his
transition team: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Congresswoman Tulsi
Gabbard. Kennedy suspended his independent presidential campaign on
Friday, but his name will likely remain on the ballot in some states.
Kennedy is reportedly aiming to become secretary of health and human
services if Trump is elected. Kennedy, who was once a prominent
environmental lawyer, is a leading figure in the anti-vaccine movement.
Kennedy has endorsed Trump despite once calling him a "terrible
president."
