Nicole Shanahan, the running mate of RFK Jr., posted on X accusing Democrats of being “terrified” at the possibility of their campaign endorsing Donald Trump.

In a Thursday post on X, Shanahan stated, “My old Dem buddies have been flooding me with frantic calls, texts, and emails. Unlike Ro, I wouldn’t dream of airing those private conversations publicly, but the message is clear: they’re terrified of the idea of our movement joining forces with Donald Trump.”

She added, “When I point out what the Democratic Party and their super PACs have done to sabotage our campaign, their response is always, ‘but Trump is worse.’ Here’s an idea: stop suing us. Let us debate. Quit rigging the media and the polls. It’s a simple formula, people—get with it.”

According to a source close to the campaign, RFK Jr.’s campaign suspension is expected to be announced Friday in Phoenix, Arizona.

Shanahan discussed the campaign’s challenges on Fox News @ Night, saying, “You know, it’s Bobby’s decision. I came into this supporting him wholeheartedly to win this election. And I have to say, there’s only one party that has obstructed fair, a fair election for us. And unfortunately, it was the Democratic Party. They’ve done everything they can, including creating PACs to prevent us from being able to have ballot access.”

The Kennedy/Shanahan ticket has encountered difficulties in securing ballot access nationwide, including a recent setback in New York State due to a residency issue.

In a recent Fox News Poll, RFK Jr. is shown with 6% of the national vote, down from 10% in July and a high of 15% in November 2023.

Former President Trump commented on the situation during an appearance on FOX + Friends, saying, “RFK Jr. is a very good person. If he endorsed me, I would be honored by it. I would be very honored by it. He really has his heart in the right place. He is a respected person.”
