New team seeks to secure Kennedy ‘a seat at the table at the White House’ and give him a platform to achieve several campaign goals.
Intent on helping Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “get a seat at the table at the White House,” a new political action committee that debuted earlier this week urges supporters of the independent presidential candidate to vote for former President Donald Trump.
Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) was founded by a dozen former senior staff members who spearheaded Kennedy’s campaign.
Jeff Hutt, who served as national field director for Kennedy’s presidential campaign, is one of the PAC’s founding members.
Four key pillars of Kennedy’s platform include addressing the chronic disease epidemic, enhancing children’s health, fighting censorship, and ending “forever wars” like the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
“Our goal is to ensure that as many RFK Jr. as possible vote for Trump, helping to win the election and bring RFK Jr.’s policies to the forefront of national governance,” Hutt told The Epoch Times on Sept. 7.
MAHA will align “RFK Jr.’s transformative policies with Mr. Trump’s proven leadership,” according to a statement released by the organization.
The PAC will focus on “advancing critical policy areas” that include combatting the chronic disease epidemic, advocating for regenerative agriculture, preserving natural habitats, and dismantling corporate corruption and agency capture, Hutt said.
MAHA has launched a fundraising campaign with a target of generating $3.5 million by Election Day, Hutt said.
The PAC has already received initial funding from supporters across the country, he said.
Beyond Election Day, the organization will support candidates who are aligned with the PAC’s policy goals.
Kennedy entered the presidential race in April 2023 to challenge President Joe Biden for the Democratic Party nomination.
The former Democrat announced he would run as an independent last October after facing hurdles from the Democratic National Committee, which Kennedy claimed was “rigging” the primary.
Since then, the DNC hired a political operative to combat independent and third-party candidates. The organization backed lawsuits in multiple states to keep Kennedy off the ballot.
