For two very significant reasons, ‘everyone says’…
1) She’s got the money, and more important the Silicon Valley contacts, to splash out on a vanity candidacy; and
2) To phrase it as delicately as possible, he wants it known that he doesn’t wanna have sex with Aaron Rodgers.
If you’re flummoxed by why RFK Jr has picked Nicole Shanahan, a person no one has ever heard of, to be his VP, understand this: This is purely because she’s the only person capable of self-funding to pay for ballot access that was willing to say yes to him.

Two questions:
Nicole's 20 years younger than Robert's wife, given his history how much does Cheryl trust him?Given Shanahan's past friendship with Elon, will he feel obligated to support her over donald?https://t.co/xgPJ5BeKNk

All the top google entries on my original search led to People articles, which is informational in its way, but this is solid reporting:
New from me: RFK's VP pick is tech entrepreneuer Nicole Shanahan, who's given his campaign a lot of money. In a very long (still ongoing!) announcement event, speakers leaned into conspiratorial themes about corrupt cabals and an irreparably sick country. https://t.co/FnewlSUUKv
