Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has chosen Nicole Shanahan as his vice-presidential pick. In his Tuesday speech, he welcomed Shanahan to the ticket, saying the young 38-year-old mother, lawyer, and tech entrepreneur would help him take on the rising national debt, government overreach, and political polarization. Some recent polls show President Biden and former President Trump neck-and-neck in a few battleground states. If RFK Jr. was able to get on the ballot in more states, could he play spoiler in 2024? FOX News Audio political analyst Josh Kraushaar joins the Rundown to break down the Shanahan VP pick, what kind of voters are drawn to RFK’s third party run, and why Kennedy’s candidacy poses a threat to both the Trump and Biden campaigns.
The date is set for the first of four criminal trials that former President Donald Trump faces while running for reelection. On April 15th, jury selection will begin in New York, where he is being charged with falsifying records and making alleged hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Trump continues to assert that each case is a witch hunt or a hoax, all attempts to interfere with the presidential election. FOX News contributor and former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Andrew McCarthy, joins the podcast to discuss why Alvin Bragg has no authority to enforce federal campaign finance laws and how these cases will impact the rest of his campaign.
Plus, commentary from the former U.S. Small Business Administrator and chair of the America First Policy Institute, Linda McMahon.
