The campaign said that $1 million would go to the campaign while the remaining $1.2 million goes to a political action committee supporting Kennedy’s presidential bid. Kennedy released a statement on Tuesday.

“I am deeply grateful to Eric Clapton for bringing his musical artistry and rebellious spirit to my gathering in Los Angeles last night,” Kennedy said in the press release.

“I sometimes think that in our divided society, it is music rather than any kind of intellectual agreement that has the most potential to bring us together again,” Kennedy said. “Eric sings from the depths of the human condition.”

“If he sees in me the possibility of bringing unity to our country, it is only possible because artists like him invoke a buried faith in the limitless power of human beings to overcome any obstacle,” he added.

Clapton was a guest a dinner at the home of RJK, Jr. with his wife, actress Cheryl Hines, Stephen Stills of Crosby, Stills & Nash fame, and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.

Stills is not supporting RFK, Jr.’s run for president. He’s a Biden supporter. He wanted to make it clear after the evening’s festivities that he was there to support his friend Eric Clapton.

Is there a potential developing here for Tulsi Gabbard to be his running mate? Well, that would mean that Kennedy receives the Democrat nomination and that isn’t happening. Perhaps that ticket might emerge if Kennedy goes third party but he has been firm in saying he’s a Democrat and has been all his life. He doesn’t look to have any intention of changing that now. The potential for a Kennedy-Gabbard ticket is making the rounds with wishful Democrat voters.

Clapton is an anti-vaxxer like Kennedy.

Clapton, like Kennedy, has endorsed a range of conspiracy theories related to COVID-19 and its related vaccines. He canceled a series of shows in 2021 due to vaccine mandates, which he said created a “discriminated audience,” having earlier teamed up with Van Morrison for a song protesting COVID lockdowns. Clapton later blamed symptoms of a previously disclosed neurological illness on vaccines, and has called efforts to encourage vaccination “propaganda.”

Unlike Joe Biden, Kennedy wants to close the southern border and has traveled there to see the Biden border crisis for himself.
