Republican Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running co-coordinator, Nicole Shanahan said their campaign is contemplating leaving and backing the former president Trump to avert the possibility of a Kamala Harris presidential run.

“We are taking a very serious look at making sure that the people that have corrupted our fair and free democracy do not end up in office,” she stated in one episode of the “Impact Theory” podcast posted on Tuesday.

The attorney and the entrepreneur acknowledged there are two options that the RFK campaign to take the other is to remain in the race, and give more credibility for presidential candidates from outside the mainstream or to end its campaign and support Trump to provide him with the momentum needed to defeat Harris during the November election.

“Is the possibility of a Harris-Walz administration worth our time? ” she asked host of the podcast Tom Bilyeu.

A tech businessman addressed the claims about the fact that Kennedy Jr. is a “spoiler candidate,” telling the host that she invested “tens of millions of dollars” into the campaign to get the presidency. “We didn’t want to be a spoiled candidate. We were determined to be successful. We wanted to give a decent shot.”

But, she also claimed that the DNC of subverting.

“They have banned us, shadow-banned us, kept us off stages, manipulated polls, used lawfare against us, sued us in every possible state, they’ve even planted insiders into our campaign to disrupt it and to create actual legal issues for us,” she claimed.

Former Democratic supporter, the woman stated she’s “so disappointed” she ever had any involvement with in the Democratic Party.

“There’s two options that we’re looking at and one is staying in, forming that new party, but we run the risk of a Kamala Harris and Walz presidency because we draw votes from Trump, we draw somehow more votes from Trump. Or we walk away right now and join forces with Donald Trump and, you know, we walk away from that and explain to our base why we’re making this decision,” she added.

“Not an easy decision,” Shanahan said.

The Washington Post reported earlier in the month, that Kennedy Jr. reached out to Harris the group to talk about the possibilities of working in the next Cabinet. However, Harris rejected the claim at an earlier town hall livestream event.

“That’s fake news,” he declared last week, adding “I didn’t ask Kamala Harris for a Cabinet position, but I’ve reached out to all the candidates. I’ve met with some.”

Shanahan denied the claim on the podcast too and said, “Those are the MSN [mainstream news] just taking something and spinning in a way that makes, you know, their chosen political group look good. Fake news.”

The Harris campaign did not respond immediately to Fox News Digital’s request for comments. When asked for clarification on the matter, the Trump campaign referred to the interview that the former President had in a Tuesday interview with CNN in which he described Kennedy Jr. “a very smart guy.”
