Presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. speaks during a campaign event, Oct. 9, 2023, in Philadelphia. The lack of excitement many Americans feel about a presidential rematch has heightened interest in alternatives to the major-party candidates like Robert F.

He plans to announce his vice presidential nominee later this month in Oakland, Calif, and is stoking rumors that he might pick New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke, File)
