Democratic Colorado Governor Polis Excited by Trump's Nomination of RFK Jr., an Anti-Vaccine Advocate, for Health Secretary
Nov 14, 2024, 10:13 PM
Colorado Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat, has announced his support for President-elect Donald Trump's decision to nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Polis expressed excitement over the nomination, highlighting Kennedy's positions against "big pharma" and "corporate agriculture." Notably, Polis mentioned that Kennedy "helped us defeat vaccine mandates in Colorado in 2019 and will help Make America Healthy again." This endorsement is unexpected given Kennedy's controversial anti-vaccine statements and Polis's previous ridicule of Kennedy's policies that could bring back measles and polio. Polis's backing breaks with fellow Democrats and suggests that Kennedy may receive support from some Senate Democrats during his confirmation process.
