Nicole Shanahan, the running mate of independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr., declared on a podcast that their campaign may be coming to an end. But she says they’re not just thinking about closing up shop and saying farewell to supporters. They’re considering endorsing Donald Trump.
“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 Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump,” Shanahan told the business podcast “Impact Theory.” “Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and, you know, we walk away from that and we explain to our base why we're making this decision.”
Kennedy’s biggest contributor just so happens to be Trump’s biggest contributor, who no doubt thought Kennedy would draw votes from President Joe Biden. But since Biden stepped aside and the Democratic Party has rallied behind Vice President Kamala Harris, Kennedy’s campaign has been shrinking toward irrelevance. Worse, as Shanahan acknowledges in her interview, recent polling shows Kennedy pulls more votes from Trump than from Harris.
So it’s time to end the charade that the Kennedy campaign was ever serious about anything other than helping Trump.
