Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate Nicole Shanahan admits they are considering dropping out of the 2024 race… and the two options they are considering

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Bay Area attorney Nicole Shanahan, admitted in a podcast released Tuesday that she is considering dropping out of the presidential race and supporting former President Donald Trump.

Shanahan appeared on an episode of Tom Bilyeu’s Impact Theory and said she and RFK Jr. have two options: They can stay in the race and hope to get 5 percent of the vote to officially form a new political party.

“But we run the risk of a Kamala Harris-Walz presidency,” the former Democrat said. “Because we’re taking votes away from Trump or somehow taking more votes away from Trump.”

“Or we can step out right now and join Donald Trump and, you know, step away from that and explain to our supporters why we’re making this decision,” she added. “Not an easy decision.”

The Washington Post reported Last week, Kennedy said he had reached out to Harris to ask if she would give him a Cabinet position in exchange for a recommendation.

Democrats have said openly they have no interest in negotiating with Kennedy, whose famous family members have supported President Joe Biden and now Harris.

Shanahan explained that a number of measures taken by the Democratic Party to prevent her ticket from playing a “spoiler” role in the election prevented her from ever supporting the Party again.

“The DNC has made that impossible for us. They’ve banned us, shadowbanned us, kept us off stages, manipulated polls, used lawfare against us, sued us in every state they could,” she alleged. “They’ve even planted insiders in our campaign to disrupt it and create real legal problems for us.”

“The extent to which they sabotage us is staggering. We’re still learning new ways that they’ve sabotaged us,” Shanahan continued.

Democrats have filed a number of lawsuits to keep the Kennedy-Shanahan ticket off the ballot.

A party spokesman has repeatedly claimed that Kennedy’s campaign was designed to give Trump an advantage.

Trump, on the other hand, was heard on the phone last month suggesting he could throw RFK Jr. a bone.

Shanahan said in Impact Theory that the former president “has a genuine, sincere interest in our policies around chronic disease.”

“He takes it seriously. So I think it behooves us to sit down and see if we can actually make a change,” the vice presidential candidate added.

Later in the podcast, she added that she had not been personally involved in the discussions with the Trump campaign.

“I am not in talks with Trump, I want to make that clear,” she said.

The 38-year-old said Kennedy would do an “incredible job with HHS,” but then twisted the meaning of that acronym.

“Human Health Services,” she told Bilyeu.

It’s the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

During the conversation, Shanahan, who rose to prominence before her political career as the ex-wife of Google founder Sergey Brin, also hinted at her next move: running for governor of California.

The Oakland resident said she would “love to support someone great running for governor of California so we can nip this dynastic line in the bud.”

“I would also consider running,” she said.
