I suspect that if RFK Jr is confirmed, then this Jared Polis position will not age well at all and may single-handedly destroy any hopes he have for higher office.
Even granting the points of "agreement" he thinks he has with Kennedy, given the entire monstrous set of Kennedy opinions, giving him bipartisan backing is political malpractice in the extreme. I cannot begin to understand what Polis is thinking.
One thing he might be thinking is that RFK *isn't* going to get confirmed (the combination of opposition by agribusiness, pharma and the anti-abortion folks might be enough to do him in), and therefore flattering him might be a way of wooing him back post-rejection.
