Nicole Shanahan leapt into the political spotlight in California two weeks ago, when Robert F. Kennedy Jr. named her as the vice presidential nominee for his independent ticket. But the Bay Area lawyer and entrepreneur has been out of the public eye once again since she left the stage on March 19.
Though she has posted several times on social media, Shanahan has not participated in any of Kennedy’s public events or media appearances since her rollout.
Friday morning, Shanahan posted on X that she was visiting the southern border in Yuma, Arizona. “I’ll be honest: I didn’t understand the gravity of the crisis at the border until today when I sat with NGO leaders who are on the front lines in Yuma Arizona,” she wrote on the social media platform.
Last weekend, Kennedy hosted his first public campaign event since the VP announcement in Oakland. But his running mate was not in attendance at the Los Angeles event.
On Monday, while interviewing a Kennedy senior campaign adviser, the Fox News show “Fox and Friends” promoted a live joint interview with Kennedy and Shanahan slated for Tuesday. But Kennedy flew solo for the interview.
