Senator Bill Cassidy is key in the confirmation process for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services secretary. Despite being tight-lipped initially, Cassidy revealed concerns over Kennedy's vaccine misinformation during a Finance Committee hearing. Cassidy's inability to secure satisfactory answers regarding vaccine safety poses a threat to Kennedy's nomination. With reelection looming in 2026, Cassidy is at a crossroads, as his decision will significantly impact both Kennedy's future and his political standing. The strong opinions of colleagues like Patty Murray add pressure to his choice.
Cassidy has been watched closely since Kennedy's nomination, but he hasn't said much one way or another until this week.
Cassidy, who’s up for reelection in 2026, would have a very unpleasant next two years.
