""abuse of authority and undermining of the public health.""
""Secretary Kennedy remains focused on improving Americans' health and lowering costs," said HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon. "Not on partisan theatrics designed to elevate standing in a failing, third-rate Senate bid.""
Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) introduced impeachment articles that target a health secretary and are viewed by some colleagues as an effort to defuse a left primary challenge. Stevens is running in a contested Michigan U.S. Senate primary and is seen as the most moderate of three candidates. The Democratic base has demanded elected officials take a more combative stance toward Trump and his administration. The 13-page impeachment resolution charges the health secretary with "abuse of authority and undermining of the public health." The effort is a long shot because Republicans control both chambers of Congress. HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon said Secretary Kennedy remains focused on improving Americans' health and lowering costs and characterized the effort as partisan theatrics aimed at elevating a failing Senate bid.
