WATCH: RFK Jr. Ad Takes Super Bowl Spotlight, Echoes JFK Campaign Vibes
The Super Bowl, known for its high-profile commercials, featured an ad for independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The 30-second spot, reminiscent of an ad that aired during President John F. Kennedy’s 1960 campaign, played just before halftime.
The ad, paid for by the American Values 2024 super PAC supporting Kennedy’s candidacy, recreated the iconic jingle and visuals from the original campaign. It included images of signs adorned with the Kennedy name and retro-styled photos of Robert Kennedy Jr. American Values 2024 reportedly spent up to $7 million for the coveted airtime during the Super Bowl.
Kennedy, echoing the spirit of unity and healing from his uncle’s campaign, shared the ad on social media after it aired. “Our momentum is growing. It’s time for an Independent President to heal the divide in our country,” Kennedy stated in the post.

However, not all reactions to the ad were positive. The Super Bowl ad reignited family tensions, leading to Kennedy issuing a public apology to those who felt hurt by the advertisement.
I agree with my brother @bobbyshriver simple as that. https://t.co/6zZiA6V2Uq

“I’m so sorry if the Super Bowl advertisement caused anyone in my family pain,” Kennedy expressed in a post. “The ad was created and aired by the American Values Super PAC without any involvement or approval from my campaign.”
