The Senate confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as President Trump's health secretary in a narrow 52-48 vote. Despite skepticism over his views on vaccines among Republicans and unanimous opposition from Democrats, Kennedy's vision to prioritize chronic diseases garnered GOP support. He rises to oversee significant health programs and is expected to focus on rebuilding trust in public health agencies, such as the FDA and CDC, amidst increasing scrutiny of vaccine safety and health policies.
With Trump's backing, Kennedy insisted he was "uniquely positioned" to revive trust in those public health agencies, including the FDA and CDC.
The GOP has largely embraced Kennedy's vision to "Make America Healthy Again" by focusing public health agencies on chronic diseases such as obesity.
