According to reports, agents for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. are considering NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers or former politician, pro wrestler and former TV host Jesse Ventura as independent presidential candidates. He admitted that he was there.

On Tuesday, multiple reports said RFK was considering a short list of vice presidential candidates that included Mr. Rogers and former Minnesota Gov. Ventura.
“I’m an independent. I’m not a Democrat or a Republican because I know those aren’t the solutions,” Ventura has said in the past.
President Kennedy said in an earlier interview that he planned to announce his selection for vice president within 30 days.
“He is considering Aaron Rodgers and Jesse Ventura as running mates, along with a list of other candidates,” a Kennedy campaign spokesperson said Tuesday. “No other details available.”
Mr. Rogers endorsed Mr. Kennedy, 70, after the two became friends last year over their opposition to COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. “This is the president,” was Kennedy’s response to President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address, and Rodgers reiterated it on Twitter Tuesday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee criticized Kennedy’s short list of nominees.
“A reunion of the Three Idiots was something no one wanted. Given the conspiracy theorists’ choice, it’s no surprise that this would be the final candidate list,” said Democratic National Committee Senior Advisor. Mary Beth Cahill said in a statement.
Mr. Kennedy was unable to gain the support of the Democratic Party base, and as a result, he abandoned his Democratic presidential campaign last year and switched to an independent campaign. He has previously said that the modern Democratic Party is different from the old Democratic Party he once knew, who was anti-war and had a healthy distrust of government and pharmaceutical companies.
