Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Taps Attorney Nicole Shanahan As Running Mate

Huff Post  

Nicole Shanahan waves after accepting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s selection of her as his vice-presidential running mate. Eric Risberg/Associated Press Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday that he had selected wealthy Bay Area attorney and philanthropist Nicole Shanahan as his vice-presidential running mate. “I think there needs to be a space to have these conversations.” Through his nonprofit Children’s Health Defense, Kennedy has spread fears about vaccine side effects that a broad array of experts say are unfounded. Shanahan described her shift away from the Democratic Party as a product of her conclusion that the party’s leaders had moved away from its core values of “compassion,” “diplomacy,” “civil liberties,” and “free speech.” Even before Shanahan’s selection, national Democrats took Kennedy seriously as a threat to Biden’s re-election. “Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a far-left radical that supports reparations, backs the Green New Deal, and wants to ban fracking,” Alex Pfeiffer, a spokesman for Make America Great Again, Inc., said in a statement.
