‘She’s a hardcore progressive left-winger’: Mick Mulvaney on RFK Jr.’s running mate

Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney has criticised Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate Nicole Shanahan as a “hardcore progressive left-winger”. Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has named Silicon Valley attorney and entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan his running mate at a campaign rally on Tuesday. “Here’s the issue it’s creating for him right now: yes, she brings a lot of money, but the only way he’s going to get on the ballot in a considerable number of states is by running as a Libertarian,” Mr Mulvaney told Sky News host James Morrow. “He’s got some Libertarian sort of tendencies … but she’s not – she’s a hardcore progressive left-winger. “I was talking this week to the Chairman of the Libertarian Party in this country … and what she said was they’re kind of okay with Kennedy, but they really do not like this Shanahan woman.”
