Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is running an independent campaign for president, is expected to name Nicole Shanahan as his running mate at an event Tuesday in Oakland, California, according to multiple reports
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is expected to announce his presidential running mate on Tuesday. According to several reports, Kennedy intends to name attorney and entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his vice presidential candidate in an announcement scheduled for Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET in Oakland, California. The New York Times and NBC News reported that Kennedy selected Shanahan after considering several possible candidates, citing sources close to Kennedy's campaign.
Shanahan told The New York Times last month that she contributed roughly $4 million to the Kennedy-aligned American Values 2024, to help the super PAC produce and run an ad supporting Kennedy that aired during the Super Bowl. Going forward, Shanahan’s wealth and ties to major donors would likely benefit Kennedy as he aims to improve his fundraising efforts.
Choosing a vice president candidate could add a boost in support for Kennedy, though many within the Democratic establishment anticipated his campaign to wane early on. Kennedy initially launched his presidential bid as a Democrat last April, but he later announced an independent run in October after the Democratic National Committee said it would not hold primary debates and was standing behind incumbent President Biden.
With a little over seven months to go until the presidential election, Utah is the only state where Kennedy's name is confirmed. His campaign says he has secured enough signatures to land on the ballot in New Hampshire and Hawaii. But on the eve of the running mate announcement, Kennedy ran into a major snag in Nevada, after state election officials said that the signatures his campaign gathered may be invalid due to a lack of a running mate.
The latest RealClearPolitics average of polls has Kennedy reaching 15% in a three-way race against Biden and former President Donald Trump. The average shows Trump ahead of Biden by 4 points. A five-way race including West and Stein has Kennedy's support at 11%, with Trump having a 2-point advantage over Biden. Fox News' Danielle Wallace, Timothy H. J. Nerozzi, Joseph A. Wulfsohn and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
