Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently is eyeing two big-name current and former athletes as candidates to join him as a running mate on an independent presidential ticket this upcoming election.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former professional wrestler Jesse Ventura top the list of Kennedy’s potential candidates on the ticket, New York Times journalist Rebecca Davis O’Brien reported Tuesday.
Rodgers, 40, is set to be the Jets’ starting quarterback next season, which conflicts with the peak of the campaign season. Ventura, who gained fame wrestling in the WWF during the 1980s and ‘90s, served as the governor of Minnesota from 1998 to 2003.
