Strassel: RFK Jr. Choosing Nicole Shanahan as VP, Puts Much More of a Progressive Stamp on that Party

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
GIGOT: “Kim, so RFK Jr.’s been doing about 13, 15% or so in the polls. Showing up, which is pretty good for a third party candidate and shows some real dissatisfaction with the two main contenders. Do you think that a number is likely to rise or fall as the campaign gets underway?”

STRASSEL: “Look, I think especially now that he’s to getting all of this attention and Democrats are helping him to get attention with their efforts to keep him off the ballot and tarnish him, I think he still has room to grow because there is a lot of dissatisfaction out there, Paul. And Democrats, I think, are also right to be concerned. Some polls have suggested that he is polling — pulling support from both sides almost evenly. But I think with his decision to choose Nicole Shanahan, it puts much more of a progressive stamp on that party, and Republicans are certainly eager to point out that it is the another liberal option and to present if it as an alternative to President Biden. And this is why you see Democrats in a panic.”
