Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, the Silicon Valley investor Nicole Shanahan, said on Wednesday night that she had given another $8 million to their independent presidential campaign as it carries out the expensive endeavor of gaining ballot access across the country and tries to propel Mr. Kennedy onto debate stages.
Ms. Shanahan’s new donation, which she announced at a comedy fund-raiser in Nashville, brings her total contribution to the campaign to $10 million, not including the $4 million she gave to a super PAC backing Mr. Kennedy to help pay for a Super Bowl advertisement early this year. Ms. Shanahan, a lawyer who was formerly married to the Google co-founder Sergey Brin, gave the campaign $2 million shortly after Mr. Kennedy named her as his running mate in March.
After a nod to the media, Ms. Shanahan said, “I think I know what they’re going to say — they’re going to say Bobby only picked me for my money,” a remark that drew laughter from the crowd.
Ms. Shanahan’s comments came near the end of a four-hour event at the storied Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. She followed performances by comedians including Russell Brand, Rob Schneider and Jim Breuer, a former “Saturday Night Live” cast member. Many of the performers praised Mr. Kennedy, but they also used their time onstage to rail against Covid vaccinations, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the mainstream news media and President Biden.
Ms. Shanahan’s personal wealth has been a significant asset for Mr. Kennedy. While campaign finance laws constrain individuals from donating more than $6,600 to a campaign, the candidates themselves can give unlimited sums of their own money.

If the veep is financing the campaign, is she the real head of the ticket?

“Personal life
In 2013, Shanahan married Jeremy Asher Kranz, a San Francisco Bay Area investor[3] and finance executive;[47] they divorced in 2015.[48]
Shanahan met Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, in the summer of 2014, at a yoga festival in Lake Tahoe;[7] they married in 2018.[7][8] They have a daughter together,[2] born in 2018.[29] Brin and Shanahan maintained an estate at Point Dume in Malibu, California, purchased in 2020.[49]
Shanahan and Brin separated in December 2021,[2][50] and Brin filed for divorce in January 2022.[50] In 2022, the Wall Street Journal reported that a reason for the breakup was a “brief affair” in 2021 between Shanahan and Elon Musk.[50][47] Shanahan[2] and Musk have denied the report.[51] The Wall Street Journal said: “We are confident in our sourcing, and we stand by our reporting.”[2] Shanahan and Brin had signed a prenuptial agreement. During the divorce proceedings, Shanahan’s attorneys argued that she had signed the prenuptial agreement under duress, and in mediation sought more than $1 billion of Brin’s $95 billion fortune.[47] The divorce was finalized in 2023 in a confidential arbitration.[7][8][52] Forbes reported that Shanahan likely received around 2.6 million Alphabet Class B shares from Brin, worth $390 million in March 2024, and possibly received an additional, equal amount of Class C shares.[42]
In 2023, Shanahan held a “love ceremony” of commitment with Jacob Strumwasser, who is an advisor at Lightning Labs, a Bitcoin software company. She described the event as a handfasting ceremony influenced by Druidic tradition.[53] The pair met at the Burning Man festival in summer 2022.[53][54”
Yeah, fake news.
Both parties denied it and there was never any proof.
Hell, the article that launched that bs “scandal” didn’t even get her age right. That’s some stellar reporting.
Worthless without pics.... Lol
and when 2024 is over, we will suddenly see a new book come to print,
“A Dummie’s Guide to: How to Finance Your Campaign”
What a bimbo.

Nicole's "love ceremony,"
Shockingly, Nicole actually distanced herself from RFK’s full-on support
for 9 month abortions........ .he quickly changed his tune....a little.
Sounds like she is turned on by $$$$$$.
The Wall Street Journal said: “We are confident in our sourcing, and we stand by our reporting.”
Scary, isn’t it?
Similar to all the confidential sources and Russia Gate, most reporters just regurgitate what’s fed to them.
Keep going leftist quack, bankrupt them for your silly campaign.
WSJ reporters are at a significantly higher level than “most reporters”, and that’s not the sort of report they’d go out on a limb on—or stay out on a limb on.
Yowsers!
Looks like the clone theory of hiring was in effect when Bobby picked Nicole:https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/05/22/new-affair-allegations-elon-musk-nicole-shanahan-took-ketamine-and-disappeared-at-miami-party-new-york-times-reports/?itm_source=parsely-api
If Google money helps defeat Joe Biden, I’d say that’s a pretty good deal.
