Kennedy Jr. raises more than $2 million after announcing his running mate

The main PAC that supports Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. as an independent presidential candidate announced that, after the appointment of lawyer and technology entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his running mate, it managed to raise just over $2,000,000.

Through a statement addressed to the newspaper The Hill, Tony Lyons, head of the American Values ​​2024 PAC, indicated that through a cocktail party organized to raise donations for the Washington lawyer’s campaign, they managed to gather nearly 60 donors who extended solidarity financial support.

“They were clearly energized by the election of Nicole Shanahan as vice president of RFK Jr.

We raised $2,120,000, showing that attendees see that Mr. Kennedy now has an increasingly clear path to the presidency.

Many had previously said that they liked him and trusted him, but felt he couldn’t win.

With 70% of Americans wanting an option other than Biden and Trump, more and more voters are beginning to understand what Mr. Kennedy would do as president; “They listen to his ideas and his policies and they like what they hear,” the letter states.

It should be noted that, in January, during RFK Jr.’s 70th birthday celebration held in West Hollywood, one of the largest fundraisers also emerged to boost his image as an independent candidate, raising $5.8 million dollars.

Now, the next step of American Values ​​2024 consists of investing up to $20 million dollars in the purchase of advertisements focused on allowing citizens to learn more about the politician. who dared to resign from the Democratic Party, where some are beginning to call him a saboteur of Joe Biden’s re-election and a pawn at the service of the millionaires who support Donald Trump.

In fact, the results of at least two surveys show that, If Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. gets his name on the November ballot, although he would not win the presidency, he would end up taking important votes away from Joe Biden and consequently Donald Trump would once again become the nation’s leader.

That is why, during a call organized by the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Robert García, Democratic representative from California, was one of Kennedy Jr.’s former colleagues who attacked him.

“I am personally offended and disgusted by his campaign. He should be ashamed of himself. “You should stop running for president,” he said.
