The Los Angeles Times reports:
Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Tuesday announced that he had selected California tech lawyer, entrepreneur and political newcomer Nicole Shanahan as his vice presidential running mate.

Kennedy made the announcement at the Henry J. Kaiser Center for the Arts in Oakland, Shanahan’s hometown and also the birthplace of sitting Vice President Kamala Harris.

Don’t overlook this: RFK Jr’s new running mate, Nicole Shanahan, has lots of money. That could fund his push for ballot access. Senior Dems tell me they worry he really might get on the ballot in many swing states.
Time to get ready for that. 1/
