Cheryl Hines Reveals If Husband Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Will Run for President in 2028

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s wife, Cheryl Hines, has divulged whether he will run for president in the 2028 election.

“Cheryl, is your husband going to run for president in 2028, and if so, are you ready for that?” NewsNation journalist Elizabeth Vargas asked the Curb Your Enthusiasm star, 60, on December 8.

“Gosh, he’s not going to run for president,” she replied, adding that she “didn’t think he was going to go into politics."

"And next thing you know, he’s telling me he wants to run," she said.

Kennedy is currently the Health and Human Services Secretary under President Donald Trump's administration. He ran for a presidential bid in the 2024 election cycle as an Independent, and beforehand, ran as a member of the Democratic Party.

However, Kennedy later supported Trump, 79, during his 2024 reelection campaign after dropping out of the race last August.

Other names whispered in the political world who could be running for president in four years include Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

Elsewhere in her interview with NewsNation, Hines revealed how she reacted to Trump's first term in 2016.

“Well, that election, I was, and I still am, looking forward to having a female president. That will be very meaningful…. what I had known from Trump was from TV, and it just didn't feel like this was a seasoned politician who, it felt like a lot of, I didn't know what to think. I didn't know what to expect," the Waitress star said.

"I probably, I was disappointed, and I didn't know what to expect. So, yeah, I was probably living in a place of, oh no, what's going to happen? Yeah,” Hines explained about her perspective at the time.

She also got candid about making the shift from Hollywood to politics, noting how she didn't expect her private life to be more out in the open.

“No, I asked [RFK Jr.] when we met. I asked him, you know, if he ever wanted to go into politics, had he ever thought of it. And at the time, he was an environmental attorney. And he said that he didn't have a desire to go into politics. So I was like, great, we're going to get along great,” she noted.

“And then he went into politics. Then he decided to run for president. And that I knew, you know, I knew that was going to be a life changer. But I didn't know how, how it would change our lives," Hines went on.
