Robert F. Kennedy Jr. may run as an independent candidate for president, but recent events suggest that his campaign may take a rightward turn, according to his ally Nicole Shanahan.
During an interview on the «Impact Theory» program, the 38-year-old Shanahan revealed that the 70-year-old politician is considering the possibility of collaborating with former President Donald Trump and his Republican campaign. With Democrats represented by Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, as well as Republicans Trump and J.D. Vance, the upcoming elections promise to be very significant.
Shanahan shared: «We have two options: stay and create a new party, but we risk the presidency of Harris and Walz because we take votes away from Trump, or somehow attract more votes for Trump».
She continued: «Or we leave right now and join forces with Donald Trump and explain to our electorate why we are making this decision».
«When it comes to the nuances… I would say that I trust the future of this country more under the leadership of Trump and J.D. Vance than under Harris».
Although Shanahan mentioned the possibility of withdrawing from the elections, it is unclear whether their votes will go to the Republican candidate. Despite growing up in a family of prominent Democrats, Kennedy has decided to run as an independent candidate.
According to his campaign’s official website, Kennedy «became estranged from the Democratic Party in the 2010s when it moved away from its traditional values. He finally severed ties on October 9, 2023, when he announced his candidacy for President of the United States as an independent».
With Shanahan’s comments, it is now known how the elections will unfold, as both Republicans and Democrats prepare for a political battle in November
