Mike Pence's Group Urges Senate Republicans to Reject RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary Over Abortion Stance
Jan 17, 2025, 06:44 PM
Former Vice President Mike Pence and his conservative organization, Advancing American Freedom, are actively opposing the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Trump administration. Pence's group has urged Senate Republicans to reject Kennedy's nomination, citing his past support for abortion as a primary concern. Kennedy's nomination has sparked controversy due to his history of questioning vaccine safety and efficacy, as well as his advocacy against certain public health measures. Despite these objections, Kennedy has received support from over 300 scientists and physicians who signed a letter in his favor, emphasizing his commitment to scientific inquiry and public health concerns. Kennedy's potential role at HHS would involve implementing policies aimed at protecting Americans from harmful chemicals, pollutants, and food additives, as outlined by President-elect Donald Trump.
