Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. – the 70-year-old son of the late Senator and U.S. Attorney General Bobby Kennedy, as well as the nephew of assassinated president John F. Kennedy – is running for office for the first time.

He is a longtime Democrat, but abandoned a primary challenge to Pres. Joe Biden to run as a third party candidate instead. 

On Tuesday in Oakland, he will name his running mate, widely believed to be Nicole Shanahan, a 38-year-old lawyer and tech entrepreneur from Oakland who was briefly married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin.

To learn more, KCBS Radio political reporter Doug Sovern spoke with the presidential candidate himself on Monday's "The State of California."
