Nicole Shanahan, the running mate of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has revealed that the campaign is considering dropping out of the presidential race and endorsing President Donald Trump. Shanahan made the statement during a recent interview on Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, where she accused the Democratic Party of deliberately sabotaging their campaign.
Shanahan laid out the difficult decision facing the Kennedy team: continue running independently, which could inadvertently benefit Kamala Harris, or exit the race to prevent splitting the anti-Harris vote. “We walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump,” Shanahan said, emphasizing the need to prioritize the country’s future over electoral ambitions.
Shanahan detailed the extent of the alleged sabotage, including accusations that the DNC planted insiders within their campaign and manipulated polls to damage their credibility. According to Shanahan, the Clear Choice PAC was specifically created to undermine their candidacy by spending millions to reduce their campaign’s impact to that of a spoiler.
Despite entering the race with the goal of winning, Shanahan expressed doubts about the feasibility of their campaign continuing amid such resistance. “We wanted a fair shot, but the DNC made that impossible,” she stated.
The Harris campaign has refused to engage with the Kennedy-Shanahan ticket, dismissing them as “a MAGA-funded fringe candidate.” As the Kennedy campaign deliberates their next move, a potential endorsement of Trump could have a major impact on voter coalitions, particularly among disaffected Democrats and independents.
