Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to reveal his running mate on Tuesday as he races to secure a spot on the ballot for his independent presidential campaign. The announcement is expected to take place in Oakland, California, where Kennedy and his team have been considering various contenders, including well-known figures like NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers, TV personality Mike Rowe, and former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura. Speculation has also focused on Nicole Shanahan, a lawyer and philanthropist who supported Kennedy with a Super Bowl ad.
Kennedy's campaign has caused concern among Democrats, who fear that third-party candidates could siphon votes away from President Joe Biden and potentially benefit former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. Both Biden and Trump are facing low approval ratings and will be vying for the support of voters who are dissatisfied with the current options.
