"Nicole Shanahan: The Philanthropist and VP Pick Shaking Up Politics"

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has chosen Nicole Shanahan, a California lawyer and philanthropist, as his running mate for his independent presidential bid. Shanahan, who has never held elected office, brings youth and considerable wealth to Kennedy's long-shot campaign. She leads the Bia-Echo Foundation and was previously married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin. Shanahan has donated to Democratic candidates in the past and has already contributed significantly to Kennedy's campaign. Her selection reflects Kennedy's emphasis on representing young people and addressing government overreach, while also aligning with his concerns about major political parties' abilities to make lasting change.
