Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is seeking the position of top health official under President Trump, navigating his controversial views on vaccines, abortion, and food safety to appeal to Republicans. Despite his family's Democratic legacy, he has shifted ideologically, distancing himself from traditional Democratic stances. His past positions on public health issues, including skepticism toward vaccines and a push against certain agricultural practices, have made him a polarizing figure. Kennedy's ultimate goal is to lead the $1.7 trillion Health and Human Services agency, aiming to reshape health policy in America.
Kennedy's political journey has been a flexible ideological one—part liberal Democrat, part libertarian, and now an adherent of the MAGA agenda as he seeks power.
In a quest for control of the $1.7 trillion U.S. Health and Human Services agency, Kennedy is softening his long-held beliefs to win approval from the Republican Party.
