Robert F. Kennedy Jr. emphasized unity over differences with Donald Trump, highlighting shared values while underpinning the significant influence of their common billionaire donor, Timothy Mellon.
Timothy Mellon, the heir to a Gilded Age fortune, has emerged as the main financial backer for both Trump and Kennedy, contributing over $165 million to the 2024 election.
OpenSecrets reported that Mellon's recent $50 million donation to pro-Trump super PAC, Make America Great Again, Inc., is a major part of his $125 million in total contributions this election cycle.
Kennedy's support for Trump came after he suspended his independent presidential bid, reflecting a strategic alignment between their campaigns and the shared financial backing of Mellon.
