Her billionaire marriage broke up. Her VP campaign fizzled. Now she’s a Trump-world star.

During his recent live tour, Tucker Carlson welcomed a stable of MAGA warhorses to the stage: activist Charlie Kirk in Wichita, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones in Reading, Pennsylvania, Donald Trump Jr. in Jacksonville, Florida. But at a sold-out show on the outskirts of Houston, Carlson’s special guest was a new star in the right-wing firmament: Nicole Shanahan, running mate to former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Until this year, Shanahan was a Democrat who had once moved easily among the Silicon Valley elite, a lawyer, tech entrepreneur and wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin, one of the world’s richest men. Today, she is in the throes of a remarkable transformation, tapping a vast divorce settlement from 2023 to remake herself as an influencer and self-described “warrior mom” rallying independent women around fringe medical views - and former president Donald Trump.
Since Kennedy suspended his campaign and endorsed Trump in August, Shanahan, 39, has rebranded herself as a wellness guru promising to “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA). She has disavowed members of her old circle in tech, saying they want to overcome human limitations, such as aging, with technology. She has suggested that vaccines might have caused her daughter’s autism, an idea she said she “was not allowed to consider” in progressive Silicon Valley. And she has hinted publicly about running for governor of California.
Though Shanahan has said her politics don’t “overlap perfectly” with Trump’s, she has become a potent advocate for the former president, encouraging independent-minded voters to back his bid for the White House on Fox News, an array of podcasts and her increasingly popular social media feed. A prominent video ad she financed warns of “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and recommends “independence” as the remedy to a host of ills purportedly fostered by Democrats, including “forever wars,” “Orwellian totalitarianism” and “communist fiscal policy.”

They have all the answers yet they only live normal lifespans generally. If you're somewhat fit, you'll outlive the average age generally. So what? Quacks and kooks and healers have been around forever and you can chalk this lady up as being one. Imagine sitting in a venue where this lady and JFK Jr are speaking? No f6ckin' way.
