The super PAC supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential campaign has unveiled new billboards in Michigan aimed at distancing the candidate from Republican mega donor Tim Mellon. The billboards feature the faces of Kennedy, Mellon, and President Biden, with a message urging Mellon to let the best man win. The move comes in response to efforts by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to link Kennedy to MAGA Republicans due to Mellon's donations to both Kennedy's super PAC and that of Donald Trump.
New FEC filings reveal that Mellon contributed $5 million each to the super PACs backing Kennedy and Trump last month. As Kennedy garners attention from National Democrats, he is focusing on engaging black voters, a key constituency for the Democratic Party. Kennedy has emphasized his decades-long commitment to economic development, environmental cleanup, and healthcare for minority communities.
