Story
RFK Jr. Secures 51 Senate Votes for HHS Secretary Role, Gains Democratic Support
Jan 5, 2025, 03:25 PM
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has reportedly secured enough votes, with a forecast of 51 Senators, to be confirmed as the next Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the administration of President-elect Donald Trump. A number of Senate Democrats, including Senators Bernie Sanders and John Fetterman, are said to be open to supporting his nomination. This development comes despite Kennedy's controversial stance on vaccinations, which has been criticized by some, including Republican Senator Bill Cassidy, who stated that Kennedy is 'wrong' on the issue. Kennedy's nomination has sparked discussions on health policy, with some Democrats expressing willingness to back him due to shared concerns over corporate influence in the food and healthcare industries.
