Conservative political commentator Buck Sexton appeared on “The Sara Carter Show” on Monday, during which he said he thinks that President Donald Trump currently has very low chances of of somehow retaining his seat in the Oval Office.

When asked by host Sara A. Carter for his thoughts on the election, he started off by criticizing the major news outlets for calling the election for President-elect Joe Biden the Saturday following Election Day despite the allegations of election fraud and misconduct.

“They’re asking us to believe a lot to think that Joe Biden won the way that he did in the places that he did, I would say this is clearly reasonable suspicion for all of the things that we’re doing,” Sexton said when asked about his thoughts on the election. “So I think it’s completely legitimate to check and to recheck and to see what’s going on.”

He then focused on the allegations and his belief that they should be investigated, saying, “I think that it’s important for not just this election, but for the next one, that we get the answers […] to questions people have right now about whether there was fraud, about whether this was in fact not just a vote that we know was marred with irregularities, but where there was also cheating.”

“But,” Sexton emphasized, “they’ve got to produce the goods on our side. It can’t just be innuendo and assumption.”

On top of that, Carter then asked Sexton if he thinks President Trump has a chance of somehow retaining the presidency. “10% shot at this point,” Sexton replied. “Maybe five.”

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced Tuesday that attorney and tech entrepreneur Nicole Shanahan will be his vice presidential running mate in the upcoming election. The Independent candidate announced his choice for the 38-year-old Oakland, California native by praising her insight into “how Big Tech uses AI to manipulate the public,” her athletic ability, and willingness to be a “partner” in a number of policy areas, including on securing the border.

Fox News writes that Shanahan is a philanthropist with a long history of donating to Democrat and left-leaning causes, including supporting President Biden in his 2020 election bid before switching to Kennedy when he launched his own run for the Democrat nomination last year.

She is the founder and president of Bia-Echo Foundation, a private firm that describes its mission as focused on “new frontiers in reproductive longevity & equality, criminal justice reform and a healthy & livable planet.”

Fox News reports Shanahan initially dropped her support for Kennedy after he decided to run as an independent, but later got behind him again by giving $4 million to the super PAC that boosted his candidacy with a John F. Kennedy-themed campaign ad that ran during the Super Bowl in February.

Shanahan also previously donated to Democrat presidential candidates Marianne Williamson and Pete Buttigieg during the 2020 presidential race, and threw more than $150,000 behind progressive Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon’s 2020 election bid.

Shanahan, a life-long Democrat, told the crowd that she was leaving the party.

“The Democratic Party is supposed to be the party of compassion. It is supposed to be the party of free speech, and most importantly, the party of the middle class and the American dream,” Shanahan said.

“While I know many Democrats still abide by those values…I do believe they’ve lost their way in their leadership,” she continued.

And she urged “disillusioned” Democrats and Republicans to support Kennedy’s independent White House bid.
