Trump echoes Kennedy's vaccine conspiracies in leaked phone call

• Kennedy and Trump met on Monday, just two days after the attempted assassination of Trump, as he vied for the independent candidate's endorsement.
• Kennedy's campaign denied that he had plans to suspend his campaign.

Driving the news: "We're going to win," Trump told Kennedy during the phone call.

• "Something's wrong with that whole system. And it's the doctors, you find," Trump also said of vaccines.
• "When you feed a baby, Bobby, a vaccination that is like 38 different vaccines, and it looks like it's meant for a horse, not a you know 10 pound or 20 pound baby."
• "And then you see the baby all of a sudden starting to change radically. I've seen it too many times," Trump added. "And then you hear that it doesn't have an impact."

Zoom in: Trump has been a vaccine skeptic, pushing the misleading claim that childhood vaccines are linked to autism.

What they're saying: Kennedy apologized to Trump for the leaked video, writing on the social media platform X: "When President Trump called me I was taping with an in-house videographer."

• "I should have ordered the videographer to stop recording immediately. I am mortified that this was posted. I apologize to the president."
