RFK Jr. eyes Aaron Rodgers and Jesse Ventura for vice president pick
Newsy
One of these well-known names may appear alongside Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s on the independent presidential ticket.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has some pretty interesting picks for the potential running mate on his independent presidential ticket.
At the top of his list for vice president are NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Minnesota governor and professional wrestler Jesse Ventura, reports say.
Sources told The New York Times that both have welcomed the overtures.
It is not clear whether either has been officially offered the spot, but Kennedy confirmed that the two are at the top of his list as he considers candidates, the New York Times says. Scripps News has reached out to Kennedy’s team for comment.
According to the Times, Kennedy has been in talks with Rodgers "pretty continuously" over the past month, and has been speaking with Ventura since they met at a campaign event in Arizona last month.
