Nicole Shanahan says she and independent 2024 candidate could ‘walk away and join forces with Donald Trump’

Lol. RFK Jr gonna sell out to trump for some power.
Not long after Shanahan’s comments were made public, Trump told CNN’s Kristen Holmes in Michigan he would “certainly” be open to giving Kennedy a role in a future Trump administration.
“I like him, and I respect him,” Trump said.
“He’s a brilliant guy. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him for a very long time. I didn’t know he was thinking about getting out, but if he is thinking about getting out, certainly I’d be open to it.”
The revelation that he is considering standing aside comes after he met Trump at last month’s Republican national convention in Milwaukee. At that time, Trump reportedly sought his endorsement, and the two discussed the possibility of Kennedy being given a job in a future Trump administration.
Kennedy was apparently rebuffed when he recently sought a similar meeting with Harris.
Kennedy was denounced by his own siblings when he announced his presidential campaign as an independent last autumn.
“The decision of our brother Bobby to run as a third-party candidate against Joe Biden [the then presumptive Democratic nominee] is dangerous to our country,” said sisters Rory Kennedy, Kerry Kennedy and Kathleen Kennedy Townsend; and brother Joseph P Kennedy II in a statement last October.
“Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country.”
