This announcement comes on the heels of Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy’s running mate, revealing earlier this week that their campaign is considering stepping aside and endorsing former President Donald Trump.
“What my gut tells me right now is that we just have to keep being honest. I gotta just keep being honest. I gotta keep focusing on what matters the most outside of party lines”, Shanahan said on the Impact Theory podcast. “I need to focus on a vision that goes beyond November.”
“And if that means that we stay in, and you know, there’s benefits to staying in”, she continued. “If we get over 5% of the vote, we actually establish ourselves as a party. 71% of Americans want a strong third party with a real shot at winning. There’s even public funds available if we get over 5% of the vote.”
“So, you know, there’s two options that we’re looking at, and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walz presidency because we draw more votes from Trump”, she said.
