Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s third-party presidential campaign has polled historically well as an abstraction. And a super PAC supporting him spent millions of dollars Sunday on a Super Bowl ad seeking to capitalize on that abstraction. The ad from the super PAC may have been many Americans' introduction to Kennedy's 2024 campaign. The ad borrowed heavily from John F. Kennedy's 1960 campaign advertising, effectively inserting the former president's nephew in his place. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apologized to the many family members who don't support him (but he was still featuring the ad on his personal X account when this post published).
