Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential campaign, recognized for its strong pro-crypto stance, is reportedly considering a major shift in its strategy. In an interview, Kennedy’s vice presidential nominee, Nicole Shanahan, said that the campaign is weighing whether to continue the race or withdraw and support Donald Trump, the Republican candidate. This decision may have a huge impact on the 2024 presidential election particularly in the swing states.

During an interview on the Impact Theory podcast, Shanahan outlined two possible scenarios for the campaign. One possibility is to continue in the race and garner more than 5% of the popular vote so as to lay the foundation for a third party in future elections.

The other option is to withdraw from the race and endorse Donald Trump, whom Shanahan believes may have a better shot at defeating the Democratic ticket of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

Shanahan also pointed out that the decision is not simple because the campaign was initially aimed at the victory and the enforcement of the pro-crypto and other reformist agendas. She said, “I did not invest tens of millions of dollars to be a spoiler candidate.” Kennedy’s pro-crypto stance has therefore raised hopes of collaboration with Donald Trump, especially among voters most concerned with crypto regulation and development.

Moreover, RFK Jr’s campaign has been known to support pro-crypto policies and has gained the support of the voters who believe that cryptocurrencies can help advance economic freedom by minimizing the role of the government in financial systems. He supports crypto as part of a larger vision to rid the government of corporate money, safeguard the First Amendment, and stop the politicization of law enforcement.

Consequently, Kennedy responded to this in his recent tweet saying,

“As always, I am happy to engage with leaders of any political party in order to advance the goals that I have worked towards for 40 years in my career and in this campaign. “

He continued to express his concern regarding issues like the reversal of chronic disease epidemic, stopping the war machine, and combating pollution.
