Robert Kennedy – When President-elect Donald Trump secured his victory in the November Presidential election on November 5th, there were already rumblings that he would choose Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to serve in his Administration.
Kennedy, who had started the race as a Democrat challenging incumbent President Joe Biden in that party’s primary system, eventually became an independent candidate for President in 2024, raising over $116 Million for his campaign.
The environmental lawyer-turned-politician waged one of the most successful independent candidacies for President in U.S. history, catching the attention of millions of Americans, and even becoming the first Independent candidate to advertise during the Super Bowl, though Kennedy’s campaign did not directly pay for the ad itself.
The advertisement was instead paid for by a political action committee called ‘American Values 2024,’ a PAC that raised over $50 Million of Kennedy’s overall total campaign donations for this past presidential election cycle.
Kennedy primarily utilized his own campaign, ‘American Values 2024,’ and a few other campaign entities to fundraise for his extremely expensive candidacy. This required staff of volunteers in nearly every state to gather signatures for petitions needed to grant Kennedy ballot access.
Trump’s Controversial Decision To Tap Kennedy As Health And Human Services Head
Ultimately, Kennedy decided to endorse President Donald Trump, and on August 23rd, 2024, he made his official announcement during a ‘Make America Great Again’ rally with the then-former President.
On November 15th, just five days after he had secured a historic victory against Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 Presidential Election, President-elect Donald Trump announced that he had chosen Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
It had long been speculated that Kennedy would be part of the incoming Administration, and many relegated the question to not ‘if’ Kennedy served in the second Trump Administration, but ‘where.’
As Secretary of Health and Human Services, particularly through the influence the position holds in Medicare, Kennedy will play a huge role in determining the success, or lack thereof, of many medical treatments, drugs, and therapies.

Who Is Donating To RFK Jr.’s PAC’s Following November Election?
Who is donating to Kennedy? What kind of influence are they hoping to obtain by lining the pockets of the Trump-nominated Health and Human Services Secretary before Trump’s inauguration, which is scheduled on the traditional date of January 20th?
Joseph Gebbia, who is listed as the top donor to Kennedy during this period, is the co-founder of Airbnb, as well as the founder of Samara, the company listed as his current employer.
Airbnb employs thousands of contractors due to the structure of their business, and with Congressional Democrats wanting to address the issue of abuse of contracting in the next tax legislation that is likely to pass prior to 2026, Gebbia’s willingness to dump money into Kennedy’s coffers just after the election may highlight an intent to influence policy, an intent that must be weighed by the Senate during Kennedy’s confirmation hearing.
RFK Has Taken Donations From The AI Industry Following Trump’s Victory
One of the donors to Kennedy’s campaign following the November Presidential election, and more importantly the announcement that he would be nominated to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services is a man called Edward Brimacombe.
Brimacombe is the President of GOe3 Technologies, a company that has made several advances in artificial intelligence technologies used to ‘protect user identity’.
In 2024, Goe3 was acquired by the much larger Global Technologies, Ltd. With artificial intelligence set to be among the most controversial issues in the coming years, members of the artificial intelligence industry are already lining the pockets of members of the incoming Trump Administration.
On the day of the election, Brimacombe gave over $31k to Kennedy’s campaign entity. In addition to receiving donations from members of insidious technology groups, Kennedy has also received many donations from certified doctors across the country.
The conflict of interest represented in these donations is clear to anybody willing to see them.
It remains to be seen whether or not Kennedy Jr. will be confirmed to the lofty position by which he was appointed by President-elect Donald Trump. It appears that certain members of the Democrat Senate are willing to vote in favor of the longtime attorney.
