Summary

This week, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, dropped a bomb: She announced a donation of another $8 million to his campaign. That’s substantially more than her initial $2 million, and suggests much more is coming. Which is a reminder: It’s still very plausible that RFK Jr. will get on the ballot in many of the swing states that will decide the election. We talked to veteran Democratic strategist Stephanie Schriock, who explains why Shanahan’s wealth suggests it’s time to take the RFK Jr. spoiler threat very, very seriously.

This week Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate, Nicole Shanahan, dropped a bomb.

1:22.4

She said she had just given another $8 million to his campaign.

1:26.8

That's substantially more than the $2 million she is given to date,

1:30.6

bringing the total to around 10 million.

Which is a reminder, it's still very, very plausible that RFK will end up on the ballot in many of the swing states that will decide the presidential election, if not all of them.

very well serve as a spoiler who helps Trump win the White House. So today we're talking to
