In a surprising turn of events, NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers has put an end to speculations about a potential vice presidential run alongside Kennedy. According to a report by Diana Falzone of Mediate.com, Kennedy will instead name California attorney Shanahan as his running mate.

The possibility of Rodgers joining the political race had garnered significant attention, with concerns raised by campaign donors. While it remains unclear whether Rodgers was ever seriously considering the position, the mere prospect sparked discussions among supporters.

Rodgers, known for his on-field prowess with the New York Jets, now has the opportunity to dismiss the rumors as baseless media creations. Despite Kennedy acknowledging Rodgers' positioning as a top candidate, the quarterback could have easily clarified his stance through a social media post, but chose not to do so.

While this news brings relief to Rodgers' fans in the football world, the quarterback now finds himself in a controversial spotlight. CNN reported that he has allegedly espoused theories surrounding the Sandy Hook tragedy, although his denial on the aforementioned platform did not explicitly address this specific allegation.

For now, Rodgers has decided against pursuing a political career, but the possibility still lingers. It remains to be seen whether he will ever venture into government service, but for the time being, he will continue to focus on his football career.

Kennedy's decision to name Shanahan as his running mate has certainly generated attention for his campaign. With the unexpected twist involving Rodgers, discussions surrounding Kennedy's vice presidential choice have intensified beyond expectations.

As the election season progresses, the public eagerly awaits further developments in Kennedy's campaign and Rodgers' future endeavors.
