Kennedy Raises Just $2.6 Million, a Sign of Reliance on His Running Mate
Briefly

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s May campaign fundraising of $2.6 million reveals reliance on running mate Nicole Shanahan, who contributed millions previously, hinting at a vulnerable financial position without her support.
Shanahan's access to over $1 billion raises uncertainty on the extent of her potential financial injections into the campaign, allowing a safety net for Kennedy's bid despite apparent financial challenges.
Kennedy's campaign spending in May of $6.3 million primarily focused on ballot-access work, with half of the amount channeled through a limited liability company, adding some obscurity to his exact expenditures.
Campaign finance laws allowing unlimited candidate contributions enable Shanahan's substantial financial support, overshadowing Kennedy's limited fundraising capabilities and highlighting the unique costs associated with their campaign.
