Nicole Shanahan pumps $2 million into RFK Jr. campaign after joining ticket
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, gave $2 million to his underdog campaign for the White House one day after she joined the ticket.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, made a significant donation to his underdog campaign for the White House one day after he announced his vice presidential pick last month.
Shanahan, a wealthy lawyer and entrepreneur, officially joined the Kennedy ticket in Oakland, California, on March 26. The next day, she donated $2 million to the campaign, according to Kennedy's latest Federal Election Commission filing. She had previously donated a smaller amount to Kennedy's campaign, but because she is now a candidate on the ticket, she can spend unlimited amounts of her own money on the effort.
Shanahan also donated millions to the super PAC supporting Kennedy’s independent campaign, American Values 2024, in February, for an ad that aired during the Super Bowl.
Puck first reported Shanahan's infusion of cash into the Kennedy campaign.
Shanahan has not appeared publicly with Kennedy or done a live interview since she left the stage in late March, though she has been posting on social media about visiting places like the southern border in Yuma, Arizona.
