With the announcement of his running mate, Silicon Valley attorney and entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan, Kennedy’s campaign will expand its ballot access.
On the surface, this double dislike seems puzzling: Shouldn’t one of the two parties have figured out how to elevate a more popular general election candidate?
Americans overwhelmingly want more than two political parties.
But in a close race between the two unpopular frontrunners, Kennedy will almost certainly be a chaos factor.
Kennedy — whose campaign is in many respects a product of this doom loop — is a deeply flawed messenger for change.
