Aaron Rodgers not expected to be picked as RFK Jr.’s vice president in Jets sigh of relief
NY Post
The Jets — and their fans — can return to focusing on Aaron Rodgers getting back on the football field.
After independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was mulling Rodgers on his ticket, he is now planning to instead choose Nicole Shanahan as his vice president pick, according to a report Saturday from Mediaite.
Kennedy told the New York Times earlier this week that the Jets quarterback, as well as ex-pro wrestler and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, were among those he was considering as part of his bid for the White House.
But now, per Mediaite, Kennedy is likely tabbing Shanahan, 38, who is an attorney based in California and previously donated more than $4 million to the American Values 2024 super PAC to help fund the presidential candidate’s Super Bowl 2024 commercial, according to the Times.
Friday, Pro Football Talk reported the Jets did not believe Rodgers would join Kennedy’s campaign, though the quarterback had not told the team of any decision because he had been “off the grid” this week.
Rodgers, according to Pat McAfee, was in Costa Rica on a retreat to use the psychedelic drug ayahuasca when the Times story broke this week.
