Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has gained the support of the Senate Finance Committee for his nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services, despite his controversial history regarding vaccinations and medical conspiracy theories. The nomination passed narrowly along party lines, with significant pressure applied to Republican senators to unify behind Kennedy amid concerns over his past. Notably, Kennedy did not attend the vote, which could shape the oversight of health policies affecting millions of Americans. His nomination comes after issues surrounding his previous presidential campaign and recent endorsement of Donald Trump.
Kennedy's nomination moved forward on a party-line vote of 14 to 13 in the Senate Finance Committee, highlighting divided opinions on his controversial history.
Despite skepticism from some Republicans regarding Kennedy's stance on vaccinations, he ultimately gained support under pressure from party leaders.
