According to a New York Post report, Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is considering dropping out of the 2024 race to “join forces” with Donald Trump.
RFK’s running mate Nicole Shanahan revealed the news during a podcast appearance this week.
“There’s two options that we’re looking at, and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and [Tim] Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump,” Nicole Shanahan, the independent candidate’s vice presidential pick, said during an appearance on the “Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu” podcast.
The other option?
“We walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump … and we explain to our base why we’re making this decision,” Shanahan said.
“Not an easy decision,” Shanahan added.
From The New York Post:
Shanahan indicated that she would be more comfortable with Trump and his vice presidential pick, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), running the country than with Harris and Walz.
“If we are splitting hairs, I would say that I trust the future of this county more under the leadership of Trump and the [Peter] Thiels and the JD Vances than I do right now under Harris and the Reid Hoffmans,” she said, referencing GOP megadonor Thiel and Democratic megadonor Hoffman, who are both venture capitalists.
A Fox News poll released last week showed Trump leading Harris by 1 point in a head-to-head matchup. The race, however, was tied when voters were given the option of picking third-party candidates.
Kennedy received 6% support in the expanded poll, down from his 15% November 2023 high and his 10% backing in July.
