Kennedy Withdraws from Birthday Fundraiser After Celebrity No-Shows
Super PAC's event loses credibility as billed celebrities deny attendance; Kennedy's campaign distances itself from the event organization.
- Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has withdrawn from a birthday fundraiser organized by a super PAC supporting him, after celebrities billed as attendees denied they were coming.
- The super PAC, American Values 2024, had announced that celebrities including Andrea Bocelli, Dionne Warwick, Martin Sheen, and Mike Tyson would attend the event.
- All four celebrities or their representatives denied they were attending the fundraiser. Only Tyson admitted he was invited, but he declined the invitation.
- Kennedy's campaign has stated that it did not have anything to do with the organization of the PAC's event.
- Despite his unlikely chances of winning, Kennedy could impact the race between President Joe Biden and presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, according to a recent USA Today poll.
