In her Substack, she notes that RFK/Shanahan pulls votes from Harris/Walz. Why would we believe that those votes won’t go back to Harris/Walz? I’m not 100% convinced that the endorsement of Trump/Vance would be enough to sway those votes that way. One of the reasons people like RFK/Shanahan is because of medical freedom, but another reason is because they didn’t like the choice of a Trump/Biden matchup again. Now that Biden has dropped out, Harris is the fresh face they were looking for, even though her policies would decimate the middle class. These are the same people who voted “blue no matter who” in 2020 because they have zero standards on who should run this country as long as they had a “D” next to their name.

I think Nicole Shanahan expressed concern that they pull more votes from Trump, hence the decision between forming a new party or pulling out of the race and supporting Trump, to prevent a Kamala/Walz win. It appears they think they could throw the race to K/W if they don't pull out.

Harris is no fresh face. She's been in our faces for a decade (or more in CA).
