Who is Nicole Shanahan
The choice of RFK Jr. vice president, Nicole Shanahan, caused quite a stir. At just 38 years old, she is barely old enough to take the reins of the presidency.
Shanahan, who is Chinese, grew up in California and graduated from Santa Clara Law School in 2014.
As a technologist, she started her own intellectual property company, called ClearAcceessIP. You have invested in multiple emerging technologies, such as biotechnology.
CNN reports that Shanahan was an early supporter of Kennedy, who is also a lawyer with interests in technology. Like Kennedy, she has been skeptical of the Covid vaccine.
In addition to the wealth she earned from her tech startup and other ventures, she was also married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin. CNN and the Wall Street Journal report that the cause of the divorce in 2023 was an affair Shanahan had with Elon Musk. The relationship was denied by both Shanahan and Musk.
I ask you to keep this in mind @NicoleShanahan he just tore off the glasses of wakeism! Give her time to adapt to the light, to breathe that fresh liberty air.
She’s been trapped in progressive tyranny and mud for so long that it’s going to take a second to adjust to this… pic.twitter.com/4rcOcq5QEO

What Kennedy says
So why did Kennedy choose Nicole Shanahan?
Many are speculating on the possibility of involving some young people in the group. Especially considering that the two main candidates are considered quite old. At just 38, Shanahan is younger than Barack Obama was when he was a candidate, and was considered young.
There is also the question of money. Shanahan has a lot of it and Kennedy needs it.
Kennedy himself strongly supports his independence with this choice, saying: “Nicole and I have both left the Democratic Party. Our values have not changed. The Democratic Party did it.”
Recognizing American voters’ insistence on voting only for Republicans or Democrats, Kennedy stated, “If Nicole and I can get Americans to refuse to vote out of fear, we will be in the White House in November.”
It’s a tall order, but Kennedy is betting Nicole Shanahan will make an impression with voters.
President Trump responded to the choice by blasting both candidates.
