This could change everything…
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan said their campaign is considering dropping out and supporting former President Trump.
“We are taking a very serious look at making sure that the people that have corrupted our fair and free democracy do not end up in office,” she said on an episode of the “Impact Theory” podcast posted Tuesday.
The successful entrepreneur and attorney admitted there are two paths for the RFK campaign to go down, one being to stay in the race and create more legitimacy for independent presidential candidates, or to suspend its run and endorse Trump, which could give him the lift he needs to beat Harris in November.
“Is the risk of a Harris-Walz presidency worth us staying in?” she asked podcast host Tom Bilyeu.
Shanahan also accused the DNC of sabotage.
“They have banned us, shadow-banned us, kept us off stages, manipulated polls, used lawfare against us, sued us in every possible state, they’ve even planted insiders into our campaign to disrupt it and to create actual legal issues for us,” she said.
“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, we draw somehow more votes from Trump. Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and, you know, we walk away from that and explain to our base why we’re making this decision,” she said.
“Not an easy decision,” Shanahan added.
Earlier this month, reports indicated RFK Jr.’s potential plan to end his campaign when The Washington Post first reported he allegedly reached out to team Harris regarding a potential cabinet role.
“That’s fake news,” he said last week, adding, “I didn’t ask Kamala Harris for a Cabinet position, but I’ve reached out to all the candidates. I’ve met with some.”
Hooray if done
