Robert F. Kennedy Jr. continued his campaign fundraising efforts in Los Angeles with a stand-up comedy event hosted by his wife, actress Cheryl Hines. The event, titled A Night of Laughter With RFK Jr. & Friends, took place at the Million Dollar Theater and featured performances by various comedians including Jeremy Piven, Bobby Lee, Rob Schneider, and others.
The benefit event included an after party for Silver and Gold contributors, with tickets priced at $1000 and $1500 respectively. This event was part of a series of comedy shows planned across the U.S. as part of RFK Jr.'s campaign fundraising strategy.
RealClearPolitics reports that RFK Jr. is polling in the mid- to high single digits in key U.S. states. This level of support could potentially impact the upcoming presidential election by drawing votes away from both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, who are expected to be the Democratic and Republican candidates, respectively.
Cheryl Hines expressed her belief that RFK Jr. is more likely to attract votes from Trump than from Biden, citing his diverse support base across party lines. Hines, who hosted a campaign rally in Philadelphia in October 2023, has been actively involved in promoting her husband's candidacy.
RFK Jr.'s entrance into the presidential race as an independent candidate has added a new dynamic to the upcoming election, with his campaign gaining momentum through events like A Night of Laughter With RFK Jr. & Friends. As the election season progresses, the impact of third-party candidates like RFK Jr. on the final outcome remains to be seen.
