RFK Jr. Begins Meetings with 25 GOP Senators for HHS Confirmation Amid $1.8 Trillion Budget Scrutiny
Dec 16, 2024, 05:10 PM
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), has commenced meetings with Republican senators on Capitol Hill this week. Kennedy is scheduled to meet with at least 25 GOP senators as part of his confirmation process, seeking to address concerns regarding his views on vaccines and abortion policies. His meetings aim to garner support ahead of the confirmation hearings, which are crucial for his appointment. Kennedy's initial statement upon arrival emphasized his support for the polio vaccine, a move likely aimed at alleviating skepticism regarding his stance on vaccination. The annual budget for HHS exceeds $1.8 trillion, which includes $130 billion in discretionary spending, highlighting the significance of the role he is nominated for.
