Shanahan said, “There’s two options that we are looking at. One is staying in and forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris-Tim Walz Presidency, because we draw more votes from Trump, or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and we explain to our base why we’re making this decision.”
At 12:57 PM ET, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. posted to X: "As always, I am willing to talk with leaders of any political party to further the goals I have served for 40 years in my career and in this campaign. These are: reversing the chronic disease epidemic, ending the war machine, cleaning corporate influence out of government and toxic pollution out of the environment, protecting freedom of speech, and ending politicization of enforcement agencies."
