TV personality Dr. Phil is gearing up to air interviews with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and his former independent opponent, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. This comes after Kennedy announced on Friday that he would be suspending his presidential campaign, removing his name from the ballot in the 10 most competitive states and endorsing Trump.
The interviews, hosted by Dr. Phil – whose real name is Phillip Calvin McGraw – will be broadcast on his network and streaming platform, Merit Street, sometime next week.
In a teaser video posted to X, McGraw asks Trump, “RFK Jr. has offered his support to you and your campaign – how do you feel about that?”
“I'm very honored by it. He's a very smart guy, a different kind of a guy,” the former president responded.
“Will I have him in the administration? It's possible,” he mused. “We haven't really discussed that, but it's possible.”
Fox News continues:
Kennedy's campaign is asking swing states to remove his name from the ballot because he does not want to be a “spoiler,” he said. He will remain on the ballot in states that he considers “red” or “blue,” he said. “If you live in a blue state, you can vote for me without harming or helping President Trump or or Vice President Harris,” Kennedy said. “In red states, the same will apply.”
The former independent candidate appeared on-stage with Trump that same night in Phoenix, Arizona, to overwhelming applause.
“And all who supported Bobby's campaign, I very simply ask you to join us in building this coalition,” Trump said. “It's a beautiful coalition in defense of liberty and safety, prosperity and peace. It's going to be an incredible coalition, and the relationship has been so good for so long. I have no doubt it's going to work and work well, but we have to win. We have to take our country away from these people that are going to destroy our country.”
In light of Kennedy's campaign modifications made Friday, Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris campaign released a statement.
“For any American out there who is tired of Donald Trump and looking for a new way forward, ours is a campaign for you. In order to deliver for working people and those who feel left behind, we need a leader who will fight for you, not just for themselves, and bring us together, not tear us apart. Vice President Harris wants to earn your support.”
The interview with Trump is set to air on Aug. 27, while Kennedy's interview will debut the following day, Aug. 28.
