Nicole Shanahan, running mate to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., revealed in a recent interview that the campaign is contemplating dropping out and endorsing President Donald Trump, citing what she described as relentless sabotage from within the Democratic Party. Speaking on Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu, Shanahan outlined the difficult decision they are facing as their campaign continues to face resistance.
Shanahan said they are considering two options: continuing their run as an independent ticket, which could risk drawing votes away from Trump and aiding Kamala Harris’s chances, or stepping aside to endorse Trump. “We walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump,” she said, noting that the decision is not easy but could be the best option to prevent a Harris administration.
The interview highlighted the sabotage they claim to have experienced from Democratic insiders and affiliated groups like the Clear Choice PAC. Shanahan accused the PAC of spending millions to turn their campaign into a spoiler effort, citing tactics such as shadowbanning, poll manipulation, and planting operatives within their team to create legal issues.
Shanahan expressed her belief that Trump, backed by figures like Peter Thiel and JD Vance, represents a more secure future for the country compared to Harris. “We wanted to win and fix this country,” she said, adding that the DNC has made that nearly impossible by blocking them at every turn.
The Harris campaign responded by dismissing the Kennedy-Shanahan ticket, describing them as a “MAGA-funded fringe candidate” seeking leverage in exchange for an endorsement.
As the RFK Jr. campaign weighs its next steps, a decision to support Trump could significantly shift voter dynamics, particularly among independents and disillusioned Democrats.
