"Nicole Shanahan: The Unexpected VP Choice for RFK Jr.'s White House Bid"

Nicole Shanahan, a Silicon Valley attorney and philanthropist, has been announced as the running mate for Robert F Kennedy Jr, who is running for president as an independent. Shanahan, known for her high-profile divorce from Google co-founder Sergey Brin and alleged involvement with Elon Musk, has become a major backer of Kennedy's campaign, despite her lack of political experience. While she denies being an anti-vaxxer, Shanahan has expressed concerns about vaccine injuries and has donated to autism research. Her candidacy reflects the intersection of wealth, technology, and politics in Silicon Valley, and Kennedy praised her as a "technologist" who shares his concerns about big tech's role in censorship and surveillance.
