Super PAC's Super Bowl Ad Stirs Controversy in 2024 Election Race

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. distances himself from a $7 million Super Bowl ad funded by American Values 2024, sparking debate and family criticism.

A Super PAC supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential campaign aired a $7 million ad during the Super Bowl, drawing on Kennedy nostalgia.
The ad, not directly affiliated with Kennedy's campaign, led to a surge in search interest for Kennedy, though it also attracted criticism from family members.
Timothy Mellon, a major donor to the PAC, has previously contributed to political causes aligned with Donald Trump, raising questions about the ad's funding sources.
The Democratic National Committee filed a complaint accusing Kennedy and the super PAC of illegal coordination.
Kennedy apologized to his family for any pain caused by the ad, emphasizing the independent nature of the PAC's actions.
