RFK Jr’s vice presidential pick is a gift to Donald Trump

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s announcement of progressive Silicon Valley lawyer and entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his running mate on Tuesday sent shockwaves throughout the Democratic National Committee and President Joe Biden’s campaign. It also settled the debate over which party would be hurt the most by Kennedy’s candidacy: the Democrats.

Fox News reported that Shanahan, 38, the ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, is a “philanthropist with a long history of donating to Democrat and left-leaning causes.” Following donations to Democratic presidential candidates Marianne Williamson and Pete Buttigieg during the 2020 primaries, she supported Biden in the general election.
