"JFK’s Daughter Caroline Kennedy Just Made A Historical Career Announcement – Get Ready
By Pearson McKinney - January 22, 2017
Up until the Trump administration took over the White House just a couple days ago, Caroline Kennedy was the American Ambassador to Japan. When Trump gained control, Kennedy was sent packing, returning to civilian life in the States.
There was no one appointed to take over the position that Kennedy once held, however, and no word from Trump’s team about who will take the position, or when.
Kennedy is now left to determine what career path she will take next.
According to The New York Post, Kennedy is planning a run for the Senate in 2018. This is amazing news, as it’s about time a Kennedy be involved in American politics again.
The Post’s sources say that not only is Kennedy planning on a Senate bid, but she may also be running for president in 2020."
