RFK Jr. Ditches Birthday Gala Amidst Celebrity Controversy
Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made the decision to withdraw from a birthday party fundraiser organized by a super PAC supporting him, which falsely claimed that various celebrities would be in attendance.
The independent candidate has backed out of the highly anticipated Jan. 22 fundraiser hosted by American Values 2024, a super PAC that supports Kennedy’s campaign. This news was first reported by U.S. News & World Report and later confirmed by ABC News. The super PAC had previously announced that renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli would perform at the event, along with other notable figures such as Dionne Warwick, Martin Sheen, and Mike Tyson.
However, it was later revealed that none of the four mentioned guests, nor their representatives, had agreed to attend the fundraiser. Only Mike Tyson acknowledged receiving an invitation, but he declined it. Kennedy’s campaign clarified that they were not involved in the organization of the super PAC’s event.
Kennedy’s Impact on the Presidential Race
Although his chances of winning in November are slim, Kennedy could still have a significant impact on the race between President Joe Biden and the presumptive Republican nominee, former President Donald Trump. A recent poll conducted by USA Today suggests that Kennedy garnered 10 percent of the vote in a hypothetical matchup against the two major-party candidates and other third-party contenders. In the same poll, Trump held a 2-point lead over Biden.
