Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is on the verge of being confirmed as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, a role that will allow him to oversee a $2 trillion health budget. Despite facing significant criticism from Democrats for his controversial anti-vaccine stance, he has garnered the necessary support, with a Senate vote of 53 to 47 in favor of advancing his nomination. If confirmed, Kennedy pledges to address chronic disease rates and promote high-quality scientific research in health policy, impacting diverse aspects of American life.
If Kennedy secures the Cabinet seat, he would do so despite his liberal credentials, well-funded lobbying efforts against him and opposition over his past support for abortion.
Kennedy, who has pledged to focus on improving rates of chronic disease in America, could helm a vast government apparatus influencing health policy that touches all corners of American life.
