Amid Campaign Challenges, RFK Jr. Considers a Unity Ticket with Trump

Nicole Shanahan, the vice presidential candidate for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 2024 independent campaign, has proposed a potential alliance with former President Donald Trump to form a “unity party.” During an interview on August 20, Shanahan discussed the possibility of merging with Trump’s campaign or continuing as an independent, citing the need to avoid a potential Kamala Harris presidency.

Shanahan dismissed rumors about negotiations with Kamala Harris’s team regarding a cabinet position or endorsement as “fake news.” Instead, she praised Trump for taking their campaign’s concerns about chronic disease and the pharmaceutical industry seriously, suggesting that a unity ticket with Trump could be a way to drive significant change.

The independent ticket has faced several obstacles, including difficulties in ballot access and claims of sabotage by the Democratic National Convention. Shanahan said the campaign could be a “spoiler” if it gets in, drawing more votes from Trump than Democrats.

Shanahan also criticized the Democratic Party for allegedly undermining their campaign by manipulating polls and other tactics. She indicated that concerns over the impact of their campaign on the overall election dynamics drive the challenging decision to either join Trump or continue independently.
