  • Fact Check: The Late John F. Kennedy Jr. Will NOT Replace Mike Pence On The GOP Ticket

    Fact Check

    Did the Republican Party make a last-minute substitution, replacing Vice President Mike Pence on the ballot with John F. Kennedy Jr.? No, that's not possible: Kennedy, his wife and sister-in-law died when the small plane he was piloting crashed into the Atlantic Ocean near Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts in July 1999.
