Robert F. Kennedy Jr. To Announce Running Mate

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. campaigns at Iowa State Fair

Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to reveal his running mate, attorney and entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan, in an upcoming announcement, as reported by The New York Times. This strategic decision is aimed at bolstering Kennedy's bid for ballot access across various states, with a significant number of states mandating a vice presidential selection for this purpose.

The unveiling of Shanahan as Kennedy's running mate is scheduled to take place at an event in Oakland, California. This move is expected to not only enhance Kennedy's electoral prospects but also to diversify his support base and attract additional financial resources to sustain his well-funded campaign.
