Danica Patrick reveals pivotal Vegas moment

Taking to her personal Instagram page yet again to detail her political background, Patrick posted a slideshow of images, the first proudly displaying a meeting with Trump himself.

The post revealed the moment Patrick credits for the political element of her lifestyle and career really taking off, reflecting on an interview with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that occurred during the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend.

“Exactly one year ago today I interviewed @‌robertfkennedyjr in Las Vegas during the f1 weekend, which was my first ever public conversation about politics. I guess you could say the rest in history based on the first photo I posted. The rest is a time line from that interview until Election Day.

"I am so grateful for the people I have met and the friends I have made along the way. I couldn’t be more excited and more confident in the direction this country is going. That’s all. Just a reflection of how fast things move when you speak your truth and have a passion.”

Patrick's post comes as Trump has elected RFK Jr. as US secretary of health and human services, his goal to; "Make America Healthy Again".
