California entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan defended her former running mate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. after he endorsed former President Trump at a rally in Arizona, facing criticism from MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell and Democratic strategist James Carville.
Shanahan, speaking on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” expressed shock and disappointment at the attacks on RFK, Jr., stating that the Democratic party has “lost their soul” and “lost their direction.”
RFK, Jr.’s decision to endorse Trump was met with disapproval from five of his siblings, who called it a “betrayal” of their family’s values. Despite the backlash, Shanahan described her ex-running mate as one of the kindest people she knows, emphasizing his lack of vindictiveness.
The 70-year-old nephew of President John F. Kennedy suspended his 2024 campaign and endorsed Trump, with a focus on ending the Russia-Ukraine war, combating censorship, and promoting children’s health. He emphasized Trump’s ability to “make America healthy again,” addressing the country’s high chronic health disease rate and the inefficiencies of the healthcare system.
RFK, Jr. has been added to the Trump-Vance transition team, signaling a new chapter in his political journey. The endorsement has sparked debate and speculation about its impact on the upcoming election.
As the controversy continues to unfold, Shanahan remains steadfast in her support for RFK, Jr., highlighting his dedication to public service and his vision for a healthier, more united America.
