Aaron Rodgers speaking 'pretty continuously' with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about potential VP run, per report
Aaron Rodgers is supposed to be the New York Jets' starting quarterback this year. He is apparently considering the addition of "vice presidential candidate" to his list of responsibilities.
The former MVP quarterback is at the top of the list of potential running mates for third-party candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who confirmed his interest to The New York Times. Former professional wrestler and Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura is reportedly the other candidate at the top.
That interest has reportedly taken the form of Kennedy speaking "pretty continuously" with Rodgers over the past month. The domain name "kennedyrodgers.com" was also reportedly registered via a GoDaddy host last week.
Kennedy is considered a fringe candidate who receives attention for his promotion of conspiracy theories and vaccine skepticism. That's an area where he and Rodgers are quite publicly in alignment, as Rodgers has become increasingly notorious in the football world for using his public appearances to make controversial and sometimes outright false statements, such as when he implied Jimmy Kimmel was on the Jeffrey Epstein list.
That Kimmel statement earned scorn from ESPN, the network that aired it and whose owner employs Kimmel. With Kennedy, however, Rodgers would be running with a person who has acknowledged taking two flights on Jeffrey Epstein's plane.
Is Aaron Rodgers getting his post-NFL future started?
Rodgers is reportedly being considered for a vice presidential run at a hazy time in his football career.
At 40 years old, however, Rodgers has faced retirement speculation over the past few years and this most recent news will only make that noise louder. Running for vice president is a full-time job even for third-party candidates, though if receiving the attention is the primary goal here, Rodgers would arguably present plenty of value to Kennedy's campaign just by taking the field and doing interviews as a star in the country's most-watched sports league.
