The billionaire philanthropist Nicole Shanahan has put the Senate on notice.
Shanahan, who was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s presidential running mate until he dropped out of the race and endorsed Donald Trump, has urged Senators to vote to confirm him or risk facing a well-funded primary challenge.
She explained:
“Hey everyone, tomorrow is a pivotal moment in our nation’s history. At 10 a.m eastern time, RFK will sit in front of the Senate Finance Committee for his confirmation hearing to be our nation’s next Secretary of Health and Human Services.
I urge everyone to call their U.S. Senators over the following days and demand they vote yes on Bobby’s nomination. He is more than qualified, he’s proven, principled, and prepared to lead. I’ll list, I’ll share a list below of key Senators. If they represent your state, they need to hear from you.
If they don’t, please call your own Senator and ask them to vote yes. We need as many votes as we can get. So this hasn’t been widely reported, but in 2020, I cut large checks to Chuck Schumer to help Democrats flip two Senate seats in Georgia from red to blue.
The two candidates I helped elect, Senator Raphael Warnock and Senator Jon Ossoff, please know I will be watching your votes very closely. I will make it my personal mission that you lose your seats in the Senate if you vote against the future health of America’s children.
And more than that, I also want to say to Senators Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Tom Tillis, James Lankford, Cory Booker, John Fetterman, Bernie Sanders, and Catherine Cortez Masto, this is a bipartisan message and it comes directly from me.
While Bobby may be willing to play nice, I won’t. If you vote against him, I will personally fund challengers to primary you in your next election and I will enlist hundreds of thousands to join me. Big Pharma and Big Ag have exploited us for far too long.
It ends now. You’re either on the side of transparency and accountability or you are standing in the way. The choice is yours.
Please choose wisely.”

A longtime Democrat and Silicon Valley lawyer, Shanahan’s financial muscle is the consequence of her marriage to Google founder Sergey Brin.
According to The New York Times, Shanahan has a net worth of over $1 billion as a result of their divorce proceedings.
In 2018, Shanahan and Brin gave birth to a daughter, who has since been diagnosed with autism.
This, coupled with the crimes committed during the coronavirus pandemic and her closeness to RFK Jr., is said to have shifted her worldview towards the Trump movement.
