.@CBS just sent this to me:

“I have received a letter from Rep. Ro Khanna, intended for Nicole Shanahan, urging her to step down as RFK Jr.'s running mate. In the letter, Rep. Khanna warns Shanahan that supporting Kennedy could aid Trump's return to the White House and have negative environmental consequences. According to Khanna, Shanahan sought his advice before accepting Kennedy's offer. CBS News plans to publish this story tomorrow morning. If you would like to comment, please note that my deadline is this evening.”

This is my full response to CBS (I want to bring this discussion back to the people, because I am beholden to you the people and not the corporate press):

"In my conversation with Ro he congratulated me on the position and encouraged me to run, stating that every American has the right to run in this country. He stated that we live in a democracy, and it was wrong for anyone to threaten me against running.

Clearly, Ro has changed his stance based on pressure from the party. I hope he understands how anti-democratic it is to ask someone to step down from a race that empowers the American public to make their own decisions.

I am very disappointed that he has been pressured into issuing this letter to me publicly. He could have called me privately. He has my direct line."
