There has long been uncertainty about what role conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would play in Donald Trump's second term. Before Election Day, the Republican said Kennedy could do “anything he wants” and would have the power to “go wild,” but in practice no one could say exactly what that meant.

With that in mind, Kennedy spoke with NBC News' Vaughn Hillyard and pointed to existing federal agencies he wants to target.

In the same interview, he added, “I think fluoride is on the way out.” (As recently as Sunday, Trump said a ban on fluoride in drinking water “sounds OK to me.”)

As for the role RFK Jr. will play in the administration, Hillyard asked what role he wants. “I didn’t tell them,” he replied. “I told them I wanted to think about it.”

Asked if he would like to be nominated for secretary of Health and Human Services, Kennedy added: “I don't know if that's the job I want. Maybe I'll be more effective in the White House as a health care czar or something. But we don't know. We haven't decided yet. We are meeting today to discuss these issues.”

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida appeared on CNN after the race was called and was asked whether a Republican-led Senate would agree to give the conspiracy theorist a powerful role at the federal level.

“Well, I think the Senate is going to give great honor to a president who just won a stunning, I think a landslide victory in the Electoral College and a mandate,” Rubio responded. “He receives a government mandate. And I think presidents who have been given a mandate to govern deserve the opportunity from the Senate to surround themselves with people who will help them implement their policies.”

In other words: yes.
