The KENNEDY meme coin experienced a dramatic plunge of nearly 22% late Tuesday, August 20. The sharp decline came after Nicole Shanahan, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s running mate, hinted that RFK Jr. might withdraw his presidential campaign to support former President Donald Trump. 
The KENNEDY coin, which had been gaining traction among political meme coin enthusiasts, fell from $0.000176 to $0.0001384, according to <a href="https://dexscreener.com/solana/5qyxuknjh1ksstlpbnsnpx426qbcdtqjifwks7b6wiqa" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://dexscreener.com/solana/5qyxuknjh1ksstlpbnsnpx426qbcdtqjifwks7b6wiqa" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">DEXScreener data</a>. This drop was triggered by Shanahan’s comments during a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAqVn5lRdes" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">podcast</a> interview on “Tom Bilyeu,” where she revealed that the Kennedy campaign is contemplating two options: either continuing as an independent candidate or withdrawing to endorse Trump. 
Shanahan’s remarks, which have caused ripples across the crypto community, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2024/08/20/politics/trump-consider-appointing-rfk-jr-administration-role/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">highlight</a> a potential strategic shift in Kennedy’s campaign. She noted that staying in the race could risk a split in votes, potentially paving the way for a Kamala Harris and Tim Walz presidency. Conversely, supporting Trump could consolidate votes but would require an explanation to their supporters. 
The news has also impacted other political meme coins. For instance, TrumpCoin saw a minor dip of 0.02%, MAGA (TRUMP) fell by 3.26%, and HARRIS coin dropped by over 18%. The fluctuating prices reflect the uncertainty surrounding the political landscape and its influence on crypto markets. 
Kennedy’s vice-presidential pick, Shanahan, a former Democrat who contributed to the Biden Victory Fund before joining Kennedy’s campaign, explained that their campaign faces a crucial decision. With <a href="https://elections2024.thehill.com/national/harris-trump-rfk-general/" target="_blank" data-type="link" data-id="https://elections2024.thehill.com/national/harris-trump-rfk-general/" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Kennedy’s polling numbers slipping to 3%</a> and Trump’s consistent 43%, the potential endorsement of Trump could reshape the political and crypto landscape. 
As the election approaches, the volatility in the KENNEDY meme coin and other political crypto assets highlights the complex interplay between politics and digital currencies.
