<p>Independent presidential candidate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/robert-f-kennedy-jr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert F. Kennedy Jr.</a> appeared in a nostalgic ad during the Super Bowl on Sunday between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.</p>
<p>The spot that played just before half time <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxGaa3xDGAU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mimicked an ad</a> that aired for Kennedy&#8217;s late uncle, former President President John F. Kennedy, during his 1960 campaign for the White House.</p>
<p>It featured the jingle and a slide show with images from the original commercial, including signs blaring the Kennedy name, as well as photos of Robert Kennedy Jr. that were made to look retro.</p>
<p>American Values 2024, a super PAC that is supporting Kennedy&#8217;s campaign, said it paid for the contents of the 30-second advertisement — air time that reportedly was going for up to <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/super-bowl-2024-chiefs-49ers/card/how-much-does-a-super-bowl-ad-cost-this-year--Z5758uXIjO3gPQHWUCwF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$7 million</a> during this year&#8217;s big game.</p>

<p>&#8220;Our momentum is growing. It’s time for an Independent President to heal the divide in our country,&#8221; Kennedy said in a post to X <a href="https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1756852942379045085" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sharing</a> the ad after it aired.</p>
<p>Kennedy, the son of the late former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, has faced <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kennedy-family-asks-public-disregard-rfk-jr-hank-berrien" target="_blank" rel="noopener">criticism</a> from members of his own family, particularly for his skeptical stance on vaccines. Some relatives <a href="https://twitter.com/Mark_Shriver/status/1756885426479005979" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke out</a> again in response to the Super Bowl ad, prompting an apology.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m so sorry if the Super Bowl advertisement caused anyone in my family pain,&#8221; Kennedy <a href="https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1756900265368723562" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post to X. &#8220;The ad was created and aired by the American Values Super PAC without any involvement or approval from my campaign. [Federal Election Commission] rules prohibit Super PACs from consulting with me or my staff. I love you all. God bless you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Kennedy entered the 2024 contest seeking the Democratic Party&#8217;s nomination, but he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rfk-jr-switches-to-running-for-president-as-an-independent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">switched</a> to an independent run in protest of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-challengers-rage-over-lack-of-2024-dem-debates" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a lack of debates</a> and other issues with the Democrats.</p>
<p>Some polls show Kennedy <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/latest-polls/general-election" target="_blank" rel="noopener">getting single-digit up to double-digit support</a> in a match-up against the major party frontrunners, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, and others as surveys find voters <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=voters+trump+biden+rematch+polls&amp;oq=voters+trump+biden+rematch+polls&amp;gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQRRg8MgYIAhBFGEDSAQg1NTkxajBqN6gCALACAA&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">are not overly enthusiastic</a> about a 2020 rematch.</p>

<p>During a recent discussion on CNN, Kennedy said he was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rfk-jr-open-to-libertarian-party-run" target="_blank" rel="noopener">open to joining</a> with the Libertarian Party if it helped him get more ballot access in states across the country — an acknowledgement of one of the struggles a third-party candidate faces in trying to gain traction.</p>
<p>The Democratic National Committee (DNC) <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/09/politics/dnc-rfk-jr-campaign-fec-complaint/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">filed a complaint</a> with the Federal Election Commission last week, alleging that Kennedy&#8217;s campaign was illegally coordinating with American Values 2024 to take a &#8220;short cut&#8221; in getting on the ballot in all 50 states.</p>
<p>Kennedy <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dnc-launches-billboards-attacking-rfk-jr-as-independent-candidate-campaigns-in-michigan" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded on social media</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/RobertKennedyJr/status/1756060193182630144" target="_blank" rel="noopener">denying wrongdoing</a> and accusing the DNC of trying &#8220;to suppress democracy, silence descent, and handpick our national leaders in smoke-filled rooms are radical departures from the core values of a party my family helped to build.&#8221;</p>
