(DCWatchdog.com) – In what seasoned political campaign observers are saying is a sign of desperation, the presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is running a contest to raise much-needed funds in an attempt to keep the campaign alive.
The prize? An “afternoon of sailing” with Kennedy himself, promising an “unforgettable trip for you and a guest” across the Pacific Ocean. Winners will not only enjoy the sea breeze but also snap a photo with RFK Jr., with the package sweetened by complimentary airfare and a two-night hotel stay.
The campaign values this ocean adventure at $3,000, a significant draw for supporters. “Ahoy adventure enthusiasts! Get ready for the chance of a lifetime!” invites the campaign’s website, painting a vivid picture of sailing from Marina del Rey, California, with the allure of the open sea and the promise of an exclusive experience.
Entry into the contest is free for the first submission but requires a $10 fee for each additional chance to win, up to a 300-entry cap. Hopefuls have until Thursday, Feb. 29 to throw their hat in the ring, with the winner’s reveal set for March 15. The sailing day is scheduled for Saturday, May 11.
Kennedy’s campaign leans into the nostalgia of the Kennedy legacy, despite some family members decrying his independent run as “dangerous to our country.”
His bid has stirred unease across the political spectrum with concerns that his candidacy could inadvertently affect the anticipated Biden-Trump showdown in November’s general election.
