The Super Bowl LVIII kicked off at 6: 30 PM ET! The two of the most formidable teams, the Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers, are giving their best to clinch the Vinci Lombardi Trophy. The players and others are also reaping all the benefits of the game. Robert F. Kennedy is running an ad for his 2024 presidential election. And his investment in the advertisement will blow the audience away.

This advertisement is similar to the 1960 campaign by John F Kennedy. The retro-style ad was played just before halftime at the Super Bowl to support Kennedy’s running for president. As the campaign has caused quite a stir on the internet, fans can’t keep calm to share their exciting reaction.

That probably cost 80% of his entire campaign funds…” Even as per some reports, the ad cost around $7 million, which has created a stir among the audience.

He pulled a fast one on the audience by running a national Super Bowl ad, revamping an old campaign commercial for his uncle John F Kennedy to urge people to vote independent this fall. The American Value Pac supported Kennedy’s candidacy. They have spent a reported amount of $7 million for 30-second advertisements during the matchup.
