RFK Jr.’s running mate says it was one of her "greatest honors" to be part of the campaign

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate Nicole Shanahan praised the Independent presidential candidate following his decision to suspend his campaign, saying it was an honor to be on the ticket.

Shanahan, who was not in attendance at the Phoenix news conference where Kennedy announced the end of his campaign, thanked him for running.

“You sparked a movement that millions of Americans had been longing for. It has been one of my greatest honors to run this race with you. It has been awe-inspiring to witness the fearlessness you showed in the face of censorship, blatant lies about your character, and even threats against your life. Save our children, Bobby,” she said in a social media post.

Her statement comes after Kennedy said on Friday former President Donald Trump offered Kennedy a role in his administration and suggested the role would oversee a health care portfolio.
