Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent campaign has been gaining momentum thanks to his fame, which is particularly noteworthy given the general public’s lack of enthusiasm for a rematch between the two main parties’ candidates for president. Even without the presidency, Kennedy’s chances of winning the Electoral College votes are extremely low. However, there have been huge numbers of individuals interested in his message and supporters at his campaign appearances.
Some have speculated that he may select Aaron Rodgers, quarterback for the New York Jets, or Jesse Ventura, former governor of Minnesota, when he announces his vice presidential choice later this month in Oakland, California. On Saturday, his campaign manager announced that Kennedy has chosen someone, but he did not reveal who it was.
His interviewees, according to her, included Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs” and Nicole Shanahan of California, a benefactor who funded a Super Bowl commercial for John F. Kennedy. A review of his platform and campaign may be found here: The 70-year-old Kennedy belongs to one of the most illustrious political families in American history. John F. Kennedy was his uncle. His dad ran for president as a Democrat and was an attorney general and senator. They were both murdered.
As an advocate for environmental issues including clean water, RFK Jr. gained notoriety as an author, lawyer, and activist. His views on vaccines have become notoriously anti-science as his campaigning has strayed into conspiracy theories. His family has been vocal in their criticism of his ideas.
Kerry Kennedy shared a photo on social media of Barack Obama and dozens of Kennedy family members posing at a White House St. Patrick’s Day reception. Kennedy established the water-protection group Waterkeeper Alliance and transformed the anti-vaccine group Children’s Health Defense into a powerful force that expanded its influence dramatically during the pandemic.
In a current lawsuit, the Children’s Health Defense is suing multiple news outlets, including The Associated Press, for allegedly breaking antitrust laws in their efforts to expose false material, particularly on COVID-19 and vaccines for the virus. Although Kennedy resigned from the group when he declared his candidacy for president, he is still named as an attorney for it in the case.
