Kennedy, who has yet to extend a formal invitation to either potential vice president, is currently focused on securing ballot access across multiple states.
His campaign has successfully met signature requirements in Utah, Hawaii, Nevada, and New Hampshire, a crucial step for an independent candidacy. Additionally, a supportive super PAC claims to have gathered enough signatures to place Kennedy on the ballot in key swing states, including Arizona, Georgia and Michigan.
However, this effort has drawn criticism from the Democratic National Committee (DNC), which alleges illegal coordination between the PAC and Kennedy’s campaign, filing a complaint with the Federal Election Commission.
Both Rodgers and Ventura are recognized for their controversial views, aligning with Kennedy’s critique of established public health policies, especially concerning vaccines.
As Kennedy’s campaign progresses, the selection of his running mate becomes ever more critical, introducing an unpredictable element to an already remarkable election cycle.
