Medicaid, measles and mifepristone: 5 big moments from RFK Jr.'s Senate hearing
Briefly

During his Senate confirmation hearing, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sought to clarify his positions on vaccines and abortion amid bipartisan scrutiny. He claimed to be pro-vaccine and adopted a states' rights approach to abortion. Despite this, he did not fully disavow his history of anti-vaccine advocacy. Kennedy faced significant questioning on Medicaid reform but provided vague answers, demonstrating a need for clarity as he navigates the confirmation process, which allows him to lose only three GOP votes if all Democrats oppose him.
Kennedy argued he is not 'anti-vaccine' or 'anti-industry' but rather 'pro-safety', while failing to fully disavow past anti-vaccine statements.
During his Senate confirmation hearing, Kennedy's vague responses on Medicaid reform, particularly about dual eligibles, indicated a lack of clarity and understanding.
