McLaughlin noted that Trump likely feels indebted to Kennedy for his endorsement, but emphasized that most Republican senators owe Kennedy nothing, suggesting they should vote against his nomination.
McLaughlin's critique identifies RFK Jr. as a person of the ideological Left, highlighting his long history of left-wing positions and his association with far-left conspiracy theories.
He stated that if Trump wants to align his administration with left-leaning policies—like defending Roe v. Wade and promoting single-payer healthcare—Kennedy is the right choice for leading HHS.
The columnist suggested that keeping RFK Jr. from heading HHS would favor Trump, as it would prevent an administration likely to engage in policies that deviate from Republican values.
