RFK Jr. campaign 'looking at' joining forces with Trump,

reports emerged that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s independent presidential campaign is considering joining forces with Donald Trump. Nicole Shanahan, RFK Jr.'s running mate, revealed this possibility in a recent interview. According to Shanahan, the campaign is evaluating two main options: either to continue running in the hope of building a viable third party for future elections or to align with Trump, the Republican nominee.

Shanahan emphasized that the campaign's focus is on a vision that goes beyond just the November election. She mentioned that while they believe they could technically win, they are also preparing for the possibility of not securing the presidency. By joining forces with Trump, the RFK Jr. campaign could influence the political landscape in a way that they believe would be more impactful than simply remaining in the race as a third-party candidate.

This news comes as a significant development in the 2024 presidential race, which has already seen considerable shifts and unexpected alliances. If RFK Jr. does decide to team up with Trump, it could have major implications for both the Republican and Democratic parties, as well as for the future of independent and third-party movements in the U.S. Shanahan acknowledged that continuing as a third-party candidate might split the vote and potentially help the Democratic candidates, Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz, win the election​.

The idea of such an alliance between RFK Jr. and Trump is still under consideration, and no final decision has been made. However, this possibility has sparked widespread discussion and speculation about how it could reshape the dynamics of the 2024 election and beyond.
