RFK Jr.’s Running Mate Suggests They May Drop Out To Help Donald Trump Win
HuffPost
Nicole Shanahan conceded their campaign is in a tough spot.
The running mate of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said they are considering ending their campaign and endorsing Donald Trump in a new interview released Tuesday.
Nicole Shanahan told Tom Bilyeu’s “Impact Theory” podcast that they are in a tough spot at the moment and are mulling the future of their White House bid, which is less than three months out of the election.
Their campaign has struggled financially and has failed to garner much traction. Kennedy’s support stands at 4.9%, according to an average of national presidential polls compiled by FiveThirtyEight. Meanwhile, a judge last week ruled that Kennedy shouldn’t appear on ballots in New York over falsely claiming he lived in the state in nominating petitions. He has appealed the decision.
Shanahan said that while they “technically” still have a chance at winning the election, the main question they’re asking themselves is whether the risk of a win for Vice President Kamala Harris is worth them staying in the race.
Shanahan explained that they are currently exploring their options, which include possibly dropping out and backing Trump.
