The unidentified donor for the Kennedy campaign has been revealed to be ex-governor Jesse Ventura of Minnesota and affluent Democratic supporter Nicole Shanahan. The campaign has chosen to keep the donor’s identity a secret and has denied any intention of turning it into a “guessing game.”
“We understand the frustration of having to wait until the 26th,” stated Link Lauren, senior adviser for the Kennedy campaign, in a post on X earlier this month. “As a team, including Bobby, we prioritize transparency and honesty in our campaign. The overwhelming media attention surrounding the ‘Veepstakes’ has not been enjoyable for our devoted followers. However, we have had to address it as it has been a prevalent topic.”
She clarified to The New York Times that she covered the costs of the advertisement’s creation and broadcasting because she thought Kennedy’s campaign would bring attention to the risks associated with vaccines. She also stated that it was a good chance to promote his presidential candidacy, but emphasized that she does not oppose vaccinations.
Kennedy would greatly benefit from Shanahan’s significant financial backing as he takes on the daunting and costly task of securing ballot access. This process is expected to incur millions of dollars and necessitate hundreds of thousands of signed petitions.
Aaron Rodgers
The quarterback, who previously played for the Green Bay Packers for 40 years, is now a member of the New York Jets. He shares the same doubt and hesitation towards COVID-19 vaccinations as Kennedy.
In 2021,
Rodgers stated that he personally is not vaccinated.
Only a few days after being diagnosed with COVID-19, he was unable to play in a Sunday football game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
“I have a firm belief in the right to bodily autonomy and the freedom to make decisions for one’s own body. I do not support succumbing to a ‘woke culture’ where a radical group enforces certain actions upon individuals. Health is not a universal concept and cannot be treated as such,” stated Rodgers during an interview on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
According to Kennedy, as reported by The New York Times, leading contender for his list of candidates is NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Stefanie Spear, spokesperson for the campaign, confirmed that he is among the top finalists.
Jesse Ventura
According to Kennedy, he has discussed the possibility of former Minnesota Governor and wrestler Jesse Ventura being his vice presidential candidate with the Times.
At 72 years old, Ventura was the governor for a single term and ran as a candidate for the Reform Party. He stated that he would contemplate the position, but does not share Kennedy’s stance against vaccinations.
Tyrel Ventura, the son of Mr. Ventura, shared with the Times that his father has not received a formal request to be a candidate for vice president and therefore will not be commenting on any speculation.
Tulsi Gabbard
42-year-old Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic representative from Hawaii, has not denied being approached by Kennedy. However, when questioned on the Jackman Radio show last week, she responded, “I will leave it to Bobby Kennedy to speak for himself. He is a dear friend and I have great love and respect for him and his motivations.”
During the CPAC event in February, Gabbard spoke highly of former President Donald Trump in her speech.
Mike Rowe
In a recent interview with CNN, 62-year-old Mike Rowe, former host of “Dirty Jobs” TV series, revealed that he received a call from Kennedy offering him the vice presidential position.
“This elderly individual, at the age of 62, mentioned having a conversation about career training and his organization called mikeroweWORKS. Kennedy inquired about the possibility of him entering politics, causing Rowe to be taken aback.”
“Yes, he made a phone call. By chance, I bumped into him in Dallas about six months ago. We exchanged contact information and he contacted me about a month ago. He eventually asked if I had ever thought about running for public office, and I was so surprised that I spit out my coffee and said, ‘Are you serious?'”
