It looks like NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers will not be the presidential running mate of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after all.
A published report by Mediaite indicates the independent candidate is planning to select Nicole Shanahan, a California-based attorney and entrepreneur once married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
The report said consideration of the New York Jets football star as the VP pick “prompted concerns among donors to the campaign.”
Shanahan was behind Kennedy’s Super Bowl commercial, and is now expected to be named RFK Jr.’s choice.
“They align on numerous issues,” a source close with the campaign said of Kennedy and Shanahan.
“The campaign is also looking for a candidate who can help finance the ballot access initiative.”
“She might be infusing millions of dollars into the campaign to help fund the ballot initiative, which makes her attractive financially; however, she lacks the qualifications to actually do the job.”
JUST IN: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to name Nicole Shanahan (no relation to Kyle) a California-based attorney and entrepreneur once married to Google co-founder Sergey Brinn, as his running mate for his independent bid for the presidency (Mediaite).

“Mediaite found that the domain www.kennedyshanahan.com was registered on March 13th, and verified the donation page is live and accepting donations at the subdomain pay.kennedyshanahan.com,” the website said.
“Mediaite donated $1 through that donation page to discover the domain was registered by Kennedy senior advisor Link Lipsitz,” it noted.
Meanwhile, Kennedy’s campaign is keeping tight-lipped on any formal decision.
“There has been a lot of speculation in the media about Mr. Kennedy’s pick of vice presidential running mate,” his press office told the New York Post in a written statement.
“The official announcement will be on March 26 in Oakland, CA. We hope to see you there.”
Shanahan, 38, told the New York Times she donated $4 million to the American Values 2024 super PAC, to help fund the $7 million 30-second commercial during this year’s Super Bowl.

“While claiming to not be an ‘anti-vaxxer,’ she said she shared Kennedy’s constant attacks on vaccines. She also describes herself as a progressive who cares about children’s health,” the Post reported.
Accordimng to records obtained by the New York Times, Shanahan donated to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign, and gave the maximum $6,600 to Kennedy’s campaign in May of last year while he was still seeking the Democratic nomination.
The Post reported:
The Bay Area attorney was married to Google’s Brin in 2018 – but they officially divorced last summer after she was reportedly romantically involved with Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
Musk and Brin were previously longtime friends, and Musk frequently stayed over at Brin’s home, the Wall Street Journal reported in 2022.
However, the two reportedly had a falling out following Musk and Shanahan’s brief fling in December 2021, when Brin requested that his financial advisers sell his personal investments in Musk’s companies.
Musk and Shanahan have denied the allegations.
“This is total bs,” Musk posted on X in July 2022, in response to a user who shared the WSJ article.
“I’ve only seen Nicole twice in three years, both times with many other people around. Nothing romantic,” he added.
Brin filed for a dissolution of marriage from Shanahan in January 2022. The couple shares a young daughter together, according to People.

WND SPECIAL REPORT – “IT’S TRUMP VS. SWAMP PSYCHOPATHS”: From the Biden administration’s enthusiastic support for amputating body parts of troubled children, to its obsession with bringing as many millions of illegal aliens, terrorists and Chinese soldiers as possible into America, it is increasingly clear that many of this nation’s current leaders are, to put it plainly, stark raving mad.
Indeed, psychiatric experts are finally documenting how the symptom profiles of scary conditions like “Borderline Personality Disorder” and “Narcissistic Personality Disorder” PERFECTLY MATCH today’s top leaders.
One groundbreaking peer-reviewed study published in 2023 documents how left-wing extremism is closely associated with “psychopathic tendencies.” Likewise, retired psychiatrist Brad Lyles, M.D., explains how “one way of understanding the increasingly outlandish beliefs and behaviors of the left is through the lens of Borderline Personality Disorder.” And one of America’s top forensic psychiatrists, Lyle Rossiter, M.D., described Barack Obama’s mental state as “Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder.”
Consider a typical description of sociopathy: “Sociopaths are often well-liked because of their charm and high charisma, but they do not usually care about other people. They think mainly of themselves and often blame others for the things that they do. They have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly. They seldom feel guilt or learn from punishments.” Remind you of anyone?
From Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to their presidential Cabinet – including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra – all of these people “have a complete disregard for rules and lie constantly.”
But it’s not just Democrat leaders. Multiple surveys now show how rank-and-file Democrats are TWICE as likely to be diagnosed with a mental disorder as Republicans – from depression to bipolar disorder to schizophrenia to narcissistic personality disorder. All this and much more is stunningly laid out in the March edition of WND’s critically acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, “IT’S TRUMP VS. SWAMP PSYCHOPATHS.” Don’t miss it – you will see the whole political-cultural-spiritual war raging in the U.S.A. in a whole new light.
