RFK Jr.'s Surprising Republican Fundraising Triumph

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential campaign has raised $6.3 million since its launch in April, with some of the top contributors being donors who typically support Republicans. Kennedy's opposition to Covid-19 vaccination efforts has resonated with the Republican base, leading to crossover giving. He has also appeared frequently on Fox News, criticizing President Joe Biden on various issues. While some of Kennedy's top donors have Democratic donation histories, others have little campaign donation history. Kennedy gained prominence in the mid-2000s as an advocate against vaccines and currently chairs the nonprofit Children's Health Defense.
