Senate Democrats Consider Supporting RFK Jr. for HHS Secretary in Trump's Administration
Jan 5, 2025, 02:16 PM
A number of Senate Democrats are reportedly considering supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services under President-elect Donald Trump's administration. Kennedy, who has promised to 'Make America Healthy Again' by addressing issues with big pharmaceutical companies and the food industry, has faced criticism for his views on vaccinations. Despite this, Senators Bernie Sanders and John Fetterman are among those said to be open to voting for Kennedy, citing shared concerns over corporate influence on health and food. Additionally, Senator Cory Booker has shown interest in supporting Kennedy, aligning with his focus on healthy living. Republican Senator Bill Cassidy, while acknowledging Kennedy's stance on vaccinations as incorrect, expressed willingness to engage in dialogue with him ahead of confirmation hearings. Kennedy's nomination could potentially reshape the political landscape, depending on the support he garners from both sides of the aisle.
