RFK Jr. earns millions and highlights bipartisan donors in July.
Democratic Presidential Contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Receives Over $6 Million in Fundraising
American Values 2024, the newly formed super PAC backing RFK Jr.’s candidacy, announced on Monday that it raised an impressive $6.47 million in July. This significant amount of funding came from both Republican and Democratic donors, showcasing bipartisan support for Kennedy’s campaign. In fact, the super PAC has already received donations from notable figures such as GOP megadonor Timothy Mellon and security specialist Gavin de Becker.
“The fact that Kennedy gets so much bipartisan support tells me two things: that he’s the one candidate who can unite the country and root out corruption and that he’s the one Democrat who can win in the general election,” Mellon said.
De Becker echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the Democratic Party’s need for a candidate that people can truly be enthusiastic about. Even longtime Democrat Abby Rockefeller, a member of the wealthy Rockefeller family, has shown her support by donating to RFK Jr.’s 2024 presidential bid.
American Values 2024 has set ambitious goals, aiming to receive between $80 million and $100 million in donations by the end of 2023. This strong financial backing will undoubtedly bolster Kennedy’s campaign and help him make a significant impact in the upcoming election.
However, it hasn’t been smooth sailing for RFK Jr. On Friday, he revealed that the White House denied him Secret Service protection, a decision that raises eyebrows considering the tragic assassinations of his uncle and father in the 1960s. This news came just a week after RFK Jr. testified before the House Judiciary Committee on censorship and the “weaponization” of the federal government.
Despite these challenges, the super PAC remains confident in its support base. During the July 20 congressional hearing, American Values 2024 managed to secure an impressive $5 million in donations alone. Tony Lyons, the co-founder of the super PAC, expressed his belief that donors will continue to rally behind Kennedy, especially in response to any underhanded tactics employed by the Democratic National Committee and the Biden administration.
