Amid his fledgling numbers, running mate Nicole Shanahan began openly flirting with the prospect of dropping out and joining forces with former President Donald Trump against Vice President Kamala Harris. The expected dropout was further signaled by news on Thursday that Kennedy had withdrawn from the Arizona ballot.
