RFK Jr. to announce running mate for independent presidential bid
CBSN
Oakland, California — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to announce his running mate Tuesday, in Oakland, California, as his campaign faces questions about ballot access in several states that require a named vice presidential candidate during the petition process.
A few names have already been circulating, including NFL player Aaron Rodgers, former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, and wealthy Democratic donor Nicole Shanahan. The Kennedy campaign has so far kept the name secret and denied it wanted to turn the process into "a guessing game."
"We know it sucks waiting till the 26th," senior Kennedy campaign adviser Link Lauren posted on X earlier this month "We've all discussed, including Bobby, how our campaign is run on transparency and honesty, and the media hysteria isn't fun for our loyal supporters. We've had to lean into the media's 'Veepstakes' cause what else is there to do?"
