Aaron Rodgers has never been shy about sharing his political opinions publicly. And now, it sounds like he’s at least considering a pretty shocking political move.
According to Rebecca Davis O’Brien of the New York Times, independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering making Aaron Rodgers his running mate for the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has recently approached the N.F.L. quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the former Minnesota governor and professional wrestler Jesse Ventura about serving as his running mate on an independent presidential ticket, and both have welcomed the overtures, two people familiar with the discussions said,” O’Brien wrote on Tuesday.
There’s no official or clear indication of who Kennedy might choose as his running mate, but there is perhaps a subtle hint about his intentions.
“If anything could be interpreted as a hint of where Mr. Kennedy might lean, the domain name kennedyrodgers.com was registered last week using a GoDaddy host,” O’Brien wrote.
It’s not clear how Rodgers would plan to balance his NFL career with the New York Jets with potentially campaigning for vice president, so it will certainly be interesting to see if he is ultimately Kennedy’s choice and how he handles it if he is.
