For each hill:
The super PAC backing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for president ran a Super Bowl ad on Sunday in support of the independent candidate, an unexpected move for the long-running campaign. “American Values 2024” featured a 30-second featurette based on the legacy of former President John F. Kennedy, repeating clips, slogans and images from his 1960 presidential campaign.
The announcement, ahead of the highly anticipated halftime show, sparked excitement on social media and was the first political ad to broadcast the big game.
Tony Lyons, co-chair of the PAC, confirmed to The Hill that the ad cost $7 million.
RFK Jr. released Immediately a statement:
“I am so sorry if this Super Bowl ad caused anyone in my family pain. The ad was created and aired by American Values Super PAC without any involvement or approval from my campaign. FEC rules prohibit Super PACs from consulting with me or my staff. Love you Everyone. God bless you,” RFK Jr. wrote on X.
