- During a speech in Oakland, California, Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. named Silicon Valley attorney and entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan as his running mate, a move that will accelerate his attempts to gain ballot access in as many states as possible and potentially help raise money for his big-spending campaign. #CNN #News
Surprised CNN has even mentioned this.
RFK is way better than Biden.

because the age barrier was smashed shes 38 !!
Why?

Kennedy has been successfully standing up to corruption for 40 years to our benefit, and is the only candidate who has the experience and skills to clean up our government. Kennedy24
He has my vote!
*Yet **_MORE_** good news from Trump!!!*
Maybe listen to her video and speech. Quite impressive. I always believe in listening to all sides. Yes, they have a tough road. No doubt. I personally don't agree with some of their views. But I'm going to listen and think about America, the future and my kids.
She definitely seems to have leadership qualities despite never having served in government. She is like if Kennedy picked himself for VP, being reminiscent of the Clinton-Gore pairing.
Please, if anything he is smart, honest and a very decent person. I already changed to We The People.
Which of their views dont you agree with? I'm acutally quiet interested in how you can be against ANYTHING that RFK Jr stands for. He is the ultimate candidate as far as i'm concerned. He has the best of both sides and he is an philosofphical figure which I can lay my eggs in and have trust with, look at trump, he is a moron, the way he speaks and does is not a president...
For your kid's sake, consider voting for Biden as the only way to defeat Trump and save our democracy. We've learned our lesson from Ralph Nader and Jill Stein. This is a two party country, for better or worse.

Attending Nicole Shanahan's announcement in Oakland was a powerful experience! Her vitality, strong femininity, and courage were striking. A self-made woman from an immigrant Chinese mother and an Irish American father (now deceased) who battled mental health and alcoholism, Shanahan doesn't fit the mold of a typical politician. She appeared as a self-made mother and ordinary person (however extremely intelligent and authentic) stepping far beyond her comfort zone, willing to risk everything and face intense scrutiny to enact change. She is truly a breath of fresh air. #VOTE #KENNEDY2024
I look forward to learning more about Nicole.

Great pick once you HEAR HER SPEAK. Let’s heal our nation from blind corporate cronies putting greed over people. KENNEDY/SHANAHAN 2024
While major-party presidential candidates typically announce their vice presidential nominees closer to their party’s nominating conventions in the summer, Kennedy is moving now so his campaign can transition into the next phase of its ballot access efforts.
The son of former US Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and the nephew of former President John F. Kennedy, the independent candidate has set a goal to qualify for the ballot in all 50 states and Washington, DC. He is so far on the ballot only in Utah. His campaign has said it has gathered enough signatures to qualify for the ballot in New Hampshire, Nevada and Hawaii, while a super PAC backing his White House bid has said it has collected enough signatures to qualify Kennedy in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and South Carolina.
Kennedy’s ballot access in Nevada, however, could be in jeopardy. In a statement to CNN on Monday, a spokesperson for Nevada’s Democratic secretary of state said that “an error” had been made in communicating ballot access guidance to the campaign. The law indicates that candidates must “designate a nominee for Vice President” in their petitions.
Paul Rossi, a ballot access attorney for the Kennedy campaign, suggested Nevada Democrats were attempting to block the candidate from gaining ballot access in the state - a claim the secretary of state’s office rejected. “In no way was the initial error or subsequent statutory guidance made with intent to benefit or harm any political party or candidate for office,” spokesperson Cecilia Heston said in the statement.
Adding to the numerous ballot access hurdles are challenges from Democrats looking to stifle Kennedy, whom they portray as a spoiler candidate who could help former President Donald Trump defeat President Joe Biden. The Democratic National Committee has filed two complaints with the Federal Election Committee in the past two months, accusing the pro-Kennedy super PAC, American Values 2024, of committing campaign finance violations and of illegally coordinating with the Kennedy campaign to run its own ballot access initiative. Last week, the Democratic Party of Hawaii objected to the Kennedy campaign’s ballot access petition there, temporarily blocking it ahead of a state elections office hearing Thursday.
Shanahan could play a role in boosting fundraising as the Kennedy campaign navigates the costly ballot qualification process and a general election campaign against Biden and Trump, each of whose campaigns dwarf the Kennedy team’s fundraising totals.
New FEC reports show the Kennedy campaign raised just $3.2 million in February, while spending about $2.9 million, and it ended the month with about $5.1 million in the bank. American Values 2024 spent $8.8 million in February, including $6.2 million on a TV ad that aired during the Super Bowl. Shanahan told The New York Times last month that she contributed approximately $4 million to help the PAC run the ad and assisted in coordinating production of the commercial.
Kennedy has denied prioritizing a potential running mate’s wealth when vetting his options.
Kennedy has never held office but has inspired a small contingent of supporters drawn to his advocacy against public health mandates and the influence of money on decisions made by government and private corporations. He founded Children’s Health Defense, an organization that regularly spreads anti-vaccine misinformation, and he has promoted anti-vaccine conspiracy theories at campaign events.
Kennedy’s presidential bid began as a primary challenge to Biden in April 2023. He exited the Democratic contest last fall to run as an independent, saying he wanted to fight against the two-party system, which he said has failed to provide Americans with viable options for the presidency. His decision to challenge Biden has drawn criticism from Kennedy family members - a handful of them joined the president for a St. Patrick’s Day celebration at the White House last week.
Both polls showed Kennedy winning a plurality of support from voters holding an unfavorable view of both Biden and Trump, despite large shares of that group also saying they don’t know enough about him to have an opinion.
Bernard Tamas, who has researched third parties in the US, said the spectacle around Kennedy’s vice presidential announcement may not do much to move the needle since Americans historically have shown little interest in running mates.

I'm having a flashback to the late 80's with Canadian PM John Turner's 'frog in the throat' debate moment. Dear God, why can't America get someone 'young and normal' to run for president.
Focus on WHAT he's saying, it's important.
Spoiler alert, RFK Jr is a spoiler...
AOC in ‘28!
I did. He sounds like Luddite. Smash the machines. @@shan6736
This man will have my vote if he is elected!
This was good, until these retards made their comments. RFK Jr. is by far the best candidate we’ve had in decades.
Robert is picking who? -says legit almost everyone
Yeah I had never heard of her. But I have now.
Aaron Rogers' star power would have 100% made RFK a contender, and possibly carried him to the White House in order to defeat Trump or Biden. -🐢
@@SnappingTurtle444 even suggesting that Aaron Rodgers would be a possible VP, demonstrates that RFK lacks basic judgement. Aaron Rodgers would be 1 heartbeat from the presidency and he has no business being responsible for over 1 million federal workers, nuclear weapons, armed forces all over the planet, and a $3+ trillion dollar budget. He is not even remotely qualified. What's next? Will JJ Watt be Secretary of Defense?
And Tulsi for a key office!!! I am delighted to hear a DEMOCRAT for secure BORDER!
Delusional!
RFK Jr 2024 !!🌎
Now I get it. The people are behind you Bobby, we got your back!
Silicon Valley Divorcee - Sounds like the script is written by The Simpsons.
Speaking from experience, sometimes you have to go through difficult relationships to learn the deepest truths about yourself. When you take accountability for these truths, and apply the lesson, you can evolve as a person on a soul level.
If his name wasn't "Kennedy", he'd be cleaning pools for a living.
He comes from one of our oldest and most respected Democrat party political families.
"@user"= MEANS BOT
Fact
In February in Alaska
@@t.r.campbell6585The Kennedy’s made their millions through corruption. Their treatment of women appalling.

They did talk about her deep pockets.
It's over. Hes done.

It’s Joever, the democrats are Bidone
This guy needs to get out the way.
Nope .. he'll do the very same thing to Biden that Ross Perot did to George H.W Bush.. work's for me
Yep. The people who support him are lemmings
Exactly. 5-7% of lemmings will follow this guy, throw away their votes, and Trump is re-elected. And RFK isn't even remotely qualified to even be a cabinet secretary.
Why? Don't u support democracy?
They make fun of Biden's stutter but listen to this guy who sounds like he's choking on cinnamon.
He has a neurological condition
He has Spasmodic Dysphonia which is a shame as his voice used to be really strong and then he got kinda fucked over but his voice didn’t do much bad
What’s Fettermans problem?
No one should be making fun of anyone's speech problems. It is fair to make fun of Biden and Trump's poor records.
Feeble-minded Joe doesn't have a stutter he's demented😂😂😂
I announce Ashely Babbit as my Vice... oh wait.
But what about Blockchain??? The forgotten buzzword 😢
What did Fredo "Kennedy" say?
Sounds like a confused drunkards joke. Are you trying to mock Robert or was this intended for Chris Cuomo?
Kennedy! Kennedy! Kennedy!
Nicole for VP! 🎉 she offers solutions!!
Is it fake news when you only deliver the story you want to deliver?
No thanks, I'll pass
Then you’ll have either don dictator or dementia geno joe.
Kennedy, Rowe should have been the ticket
@@OneKidsKitchen People would have complained about that choice.
🗣📢 Great News RFK POTUS 2024!
Much to the chagrin of CNN and MSNBC
