Trump Nominates RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary Amid 51% Voter Support and Vaccine Policy Concerns
Dec 27, 2024, 01:02 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). A Rasmussen poll indicates that a majority of likely U.S. voters support his Senate confirmation, with 51% in favor, 35% opposed, and 14% unsure. Kennedy's nomination has garnered support from 'crunchy moms' across political lines, who see him as a champion for health. He has pledged to 'make America healthy again' and aims to address issues like ultra-processed foods and the influence of large corporations on food production. However, his stance on vaccines has raised concerns among some Democrats and health experts, who fear potential policy changes could undermine public health efforts, particularly regarding vaccine-preventable diseases like polio. Kennedy's nomination has sparked debate, with some viewing him as a threat to established health policies, while others see his potential appointment as an opportunity to reform health regulations.
