Driving the news: In a memo Thursday, the Kennedy-aligned political advocacy group MAHA Action warned the chairs of the Republican Senate and House campaign committees and House and Senate leaders that the GOP "is renting MAHA voters. They haven't decided to purchase them yet." The group says Republicans could still close the polling gap with appeals to this segment, which it said could represent 10% of the electorate.
Earlier this month, the wellness entrepreneur Calley Means delivered opening remarks at a symposium called "The Future of Farming: Exploring a Pro-Health, Pro-Farmer Agenda," held in Washington, D.C., at the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank. Means is prominent in Make America Healthy Again, the clean-eating, vaccine-skeptical movement that opposes corruption in the food, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries. He is also a top adviser to MAHA's patron saint, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., now the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
