RFK Jr. has made his choice…
According to reports from multiple media outlets, third-party presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. intends to name attorney and entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his VP candidate in an announcement scheduled for Tuesday.
From Fox News:
The 38-year-old Shanahan is an Oakland native who was previously married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
Shanahan told The New York Times last month that she contributed roughly $4 million to the Kennedy-aligned American Values 2024, to help the super PAC produce and run an ad supporting Kennedy that aired during the Super Bowl.
Going forward, Shanahan’s wealth and ties to major donors would likely benefit Kennedy as he aims to improve his fundraising efforts.
Kennedy, a longtime environmental activist and high-profile vaccine skeptic who is a scion of one of the nation’s most storied political dynasties, is trying to convince voters across the nation to forgo support for either of the two major political parties, and elect the first independent presidential candidate since George Washington.
It was rumored prior to the announcement that Kennedy was also considering New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura — who was elected as a third-party candidate — and “Dirty Jobs” star Mike Rowe.
