Yeah. Before he even started would have been ideal.
I know right, how that twatwaffle ever got confirmed is beyond me.
Because Harris told him no, so confirming him was anti Democrats. It didn't have to be any more complicated than that. He went to both presidential frontrunners, asked for a quid pro quo scenario that is illegal .. and one candidate said yes, the other said no. So he endorsed the one who said yes for a position. Performing an illegal act and being anti Democrats is all it takes to get MAGA support. He could have advocated to euthenize half the population and they would have confirmed him.
Definitely plausible, but source?
In early 2024 Trump called Kennedy a radical left liberal, a bunch of lunatics, and of course not a Republican. That all flipped as soon as Kennedy met with Trump and suddenly Kennedy endorsed him, and was given a position in his cabinet.
Kennedy trying to get a meeting with Harris was reported by just about every media station.

Even Fox reported on it at the time http://www.foxnews.com/politics/rfk-asked-harris-cabinet-post-exchange-dropping-out-endorsing-her-report.amp?espv=1
Trump meeting with Kennedy was reported as well. Going so far as to say they were working together but didn't guarantee a position on national television. https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4846476-robert-f-kennedy-jr-endorsement-donald-trump-administration/
Trump saying he was going to put him into a position before the election occured: https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/11/01/2024-elections-live-coverage-updates-analysis/trump-rfk-jr-health-care-vaccines-00186837
You're leaving out the part where Democratic party didn't have a primary, tried to coronate yet ANOTHER candidate that didn't win a single primary, screwed with Kennedy's name on ballots in multiple states, and loads more I've forgotten or otherwise neglected to mention.
To add to the sources shared by the other user, RFK Jr. was also talking with his running mate about wanting to be secretary of health and human services as a quid pro quo for dropping out of the presidential race.
He was rejected by Harris, but received favorably by Trump, whose campaign had more to lose if RFK Jr. stayed in the race, given that his platform was closer to Trump's and risked splitting the vote.

The best time for RFK Jr.'s career to end was twenty years ago. The next best time is today.
