Aaron Rodgers 12282023

Aaron Rodgers… Vice President of the United States? No, it is not a joke. The Jets star quarterback is on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s list (nephew of the remembered JFK) to be his running mate in his independent campaign for the 2024 United States presidential elections, The New York Times reported on Tuesday. . Kennedy is also considering former Minnesota governor and professional wrestler Jesse Ventura.

Kennedy confirmed the Times’ report , stating that he and Rodgers have been speaking “pretty continuously” for the past month.

Would Rodgers really leave football to support a presidential campaign? The 40-year-old is a public Kennedy supporter , so it’s not impossible.

Who is presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nephew of JFK

Kennedy, 70, is running as an independent candidate in the 2024 general elections. A lawyer and environmental activist, he is the nephew of former United States President John F. Kennedy and the son of his father and namesake, who was a senator and attorney general of the United States. United States, but has never held political office.

NFL fans will remember Kennedy’s controversial campaign ad during Super Bowl 58, which caused quite a stir – even among members of his own family – for imitating an identical JFK campaign ad 70 years earlier.

What is the connection between RFK Jr. and Aaron Rodgers

Rodgers has long been a supporter of RFK Jr., as they both shared similar anti-vaccine views during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On March 8, the QB reposted RFK Jr.’s response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying, “This is presidential ,” with the hashtags “Kennedy24.” and “RFK” .

Rodgers has not publicly stated anything about his candidacy. Kennedy is expected to announce his vice presidential pick “in the coming weeks ,” according to the Times report. The newspaper also noted that the domain name “kennedyrodgers.com” was registered last week using a GoDaddy host.

Rodgers is expected to fully recover from his Achilles injury in 2023 and be ready to begin the 2024 season with the Jets. Of course, joining a presidential campaign in the fall would overlap with the start of the NFL season.

Rodgers is under contract with the Jets through the 2025 season and hopes to play “two, three or four more years ,” as he stated earlier this month.

Watching him combine his role as starting quarterback for the New York Jets with that of presidential running mate would be entertaining, to say the least.
