Cheryl Hines was 'very worried' husband RFK Jr. would be shot during 2024 presidential campaign

Actress Cheryl Hines revealed in a new CBS interview that she was "very worried" her husband, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., would be shot during his 2024 presidential campaign.

"CBS Mornings" host Gayle King previewed the interview on Monday, showing a clip of the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" actress discussing her fears over her husband's safety. 

"From the moment he announced he was running, I knew our lives would never be the same," Hines told CBS News' Natalie Morales. "I found it stressful that Bobby didn't get Secret Service protection."

Kennedy ran for president as an independent before suspending his campaign and endorsing Republican Donald Trump, who later tapped him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

Hines added, "I think every day somebody would say to me, 'Are you worried about him getting shot like his father and like his uncle?' And I was. I was very worried about it. Still worried about it. I don't think Bobby tells me all of the threats that he gets, if I'm being honest."

The full interview will air Tuesday on "CBS Mornings." Kennedy, the face of the "Make America Healthy Again" movement, has been the subject of fierce criticism from political foes for his stances on vaccines, food and autism, as well as his stewardship of the health department.

Kennedy has said the Biden administration repeatedly denied his requests for Secret Service protections for his campaign, despite his family's tragic history. 

Kennedy's father, Robert F. Kennedy, and uncle, President John F. Kennedy, were both assassinated in the 1960s, which prompted the extension of Secret Service protection to presidential candidates.

The Biden administration's rejection of additional protection for Kennedy came even after a heavily armed man infiltrated one of Kennedy's campaign events in September 2023.

Kennedy later received Secret Service protection after the first assassination attempt against Trump last year.

However, his protection was withdrawn after he suspended his campaign and backed Trump.
