Libertarian National Committee Chair Angela McArdle expressed confusion at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s pick for a presidential running mate as his campaign is in talks with running on the Libertarian Party ticket.
On Tuesday, Mr. Kennedy announced Silicon Valley lawyer Nicole Shanahan as his running mate for his 2024 presidential campaign. Reacting to the announcement in an interview with The Hill on NewsNation on March 26, Ms. McArdle said a lot of libertarians “are confused” by Mr. Kennedy’s choice in running mate at a time when he’s trying to convince the party to let him be their presidential candidate.
