RFK Jr’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, shared a post to X claiming that Democrats are ‘terrified’ their campaign may endorse Donald Trump.In a post on X on Thursday, the independent VP pick said ‘My old Dem buddies have been flooding me with frantic calls, texts, and emails. Unlike Ro, I wouldn’t dream of airing those private conversations publicly, but the message is clear: they’re terrified of the idea of our movement joining forces with Donald Trump.’‘When I point out what the Democratic Party and their super PACs have done to sabotage our campaign, their response is always, ‘but Trump is worse.’ Here’s an idea: stop suing us. Let us debate. Quit rigging the media and the polls. It’s a simple formula, people—get with it,’ the post concluded.A source close to the campaign told the NY Post on Thursday that RFK Jr’s campaign suspension will be announced Friday in Phoenix, Arizona.
Shanahan joined Fox News @ Night on Tuesday, saying ‘You know, it’s Bobby’s decision. I came into this supporting him wholeheartedly to win this election. And I have to say, there’s only one party that has obstructed fair, a fair election for us. And unfortunately, it was the Democratic Party. They’ve done everything they can, including creating PACs to prevent us from being able to have ballot access.’
The Kennedy/Shanahan ballot has faced uphill climbs in order to get on the ballot state-by-state nationwide. Most recently, it faced a roadblock in New York State due to a residency dispute.
