Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Health Secretary Nomination Faces Intense Scrutiny
RFK Jr.'s controversial views on vaccines, potential abortion regulations, and family backlash complicate his nomination as Health Secretary under President Trump.

As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. prepares for Senate confirmation hearings as Health Secretary nominee, he faces intense scrutiny from both parties.

He aims to woo some Democrats and has garnered support from others, including cousin Patrick J. Kennedy. Uncertainty surrounds his potential as leader of the $1.7 trillion HHS agency.
