But she isn’t doing much else besides “learning and studying.”
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s wealthy but relatively obscure running mate, Nicole Shanahan, contributed $2 million to their long shot White House bid in March, preventing the campaign from running into the red for the second month in a row.
“She’s doing podcasts and discussing issues with people and having think tank sessions,” Bigtree said in an interview this week. “She’s focused on learning and studying.”While the campaign raised $5.3 million in March, it also spent $4.4 million and reported an additional $224,000 of debt for security expenses. It had just over $6 million cash on hand at the end of the month, but also reported $1.5 million in debt, all owed to Gavin de Becker & Associates for private security services.
Shanahan has not participated in campaign events or interviews with Kennedy following her announcement launch event on March 22, though she has posted a short video about the U.S.’s Southern border and has done podcast interviews with independent content makers Rick Rubin, a former music producer, and Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford professor who was an outspoken critic of Covid-19 lockdowns.
“I think it’s going to be an uphill challenge, but I don’t think the door’s totally closed. Otherwise I wouldn’t have written the letter or tried to get people to talk to her,” Khanna said in an interview on Capitol Hill, adding he’s known her for about five years as a climate activist. “I think if she hears from a lot of people, she changes by the summer.”
