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.

Dear U.S. Senators,

Bobby may play nice; I won’t.
