RFK Jr. Set to Choose Tech Entrepreneur Shanahan as Vice President

Reports suggest that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to announce Nicole Shanahan, an attorney and tech entrepreneur who funded his Super Bowl commercial, as his running mate in his independent bid for the White House. Shanahan is expected to replace potential candidates such as NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wrestling legend Jesse Ventura.

A source close to the campaign informed Mediaite that Rodgers is no longer being considered, paving the way for Shanahan to be named as the running mate. Kennedy is set to make his official announcement later this month, with sources stating that he and Shanahan share common views on various issues. Additionally, the campaign is seeking a candidate who can help fund the ballot access initiative, making Shanahan an attractive choice due to her potential financial contributions.

Although concerns have been raised about Shanahan’s qualifications for the role, a spokesperson for the Kennedy campaign did not provide any comments. However, a website domain www.kennedyshanahan.com has been registered, with a subdomain pay.kennedyshanahan.com live for accepting donations.

Shanahan, aged 38, is known for her investments in scientific research related to health and the environment. She is a prominent donor to the Democratic Party and played a significant role in financing the Kennedy ad during the Super Bowl. Shanahan expressed her belief that Kennedy is prepared to challenge the scientific establishment on issues such as vaccines, children’s health, and the environment, aligning with her own priorities.
