Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Selects Nicole Shanahan as Running Mate for Presidential Campaign
In a surprising turn of events, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate and prominent figure in the anti-vaccination movement, has chosen Nicole Shanahan, a prosperous attorney from Silicon Valley, to be his vice-presidential running mate. Shanahan’s support for Kennedy’s campaign has been substantial, with a $4 million donation to his super PAC, which funded a half-minute television spot aired during the 2023 Super Bowl.
Kennedy’s controversial stance on vaccines has led to his removal from popular social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook due to the dissemination of inaccurate information. However, the decision to suspend his accounts was eventually overturned, with the platforms citing their commitment to free speech as the reason for the reversal.
