Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was boxed out of the Democratic primaries. The party refused to let him debate Joe Biden, despite his success in the polls. Despite this, he is running as an independent and is poised to be a major spoiler in the 2024 Election.
Kennedy enjoys a much higher favorability rating than either Biden or Trump. He seems to be growing in popularity among voters dissatisfied with both parties.
Some have speculated that Trump would be wise to pick him as his running mate. It is unknown if that would happen. But Kennedy has recently discussed possible running mates of his own. And these are names you are not expecting.
From Daily Caller:
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy is considering both New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former professional wrestler and Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura to be his running mate, according to New York Times…Kennedy, who is reportedly still considering options for his VP shortlist, approached Rodgers and Ventura with the idea and both were open to it, the New York Times reported.
According to a new report, Robert Kennedy Jr. is considering NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former wrestler and governor Jesse Venture as possible running mates. Both men reportedly are interested in the prospect.
Rodgers has long been a supporter of Kennedy’s. Reports suggest they have been “pretty continuously” talking for the past month. Venture stated that he’d be open to the idea of running alongside Kennedy.
Although Venture has spoken disparagingly about Kennedy’s criticism of vaccines and the medical establishment. That might not put him in a good place, should Kennedy consider him as a pair.
A running mate selection could make or break a candidate. Kennedy has stated he is still considering options for his VP shortlist. It is unknown how either person could impact Kennedy’s candidacy.
Key Takeaways:
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering Aaron Rodgers and Jesse Venture as possible VP running mates.
- The independent candidate for president says he is still considering his VP shortlist.
- Kennedy was denied the ability to debate Joe Biden and has left the Democratic Party.
