Wasn’t Joe involved with one of JFK’s sisters, perhaps engaged? I know he did not marry her but I understand he was close to Joseph Kennedy. Also, if I am not mistaken, Eleanor Roosevelt did not support JFK for the nomination because he was “absent” on the day of the censure vote for Senator McCarthy.

ties with Bobby were forged when he gave RFK a job as minority counsel to his Senate committee investigating domestic communism. Though RFK would later have an intense falling out with McCarthy's other counsel Roy Cohn, the younger Kennedy brother would maintain a deep loyalty to a man he loved enough to make the godfather of his first child. In 1955, Bobby displayed his residual feelings of loyalty for McCarthy even after the Senator's fall into disgrace at a dinner meeting described by the court historian of Camelot himself, Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. y's worked for McCarthy

Joseph McCarthey was Godfather to one of RFK's kids.
