Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump's nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, advanced to a full Senate vote following a narrow 14-13 party-line vote in the Senate Finance Committee. Despite concerns over his anti-vaccine stances and potential financial conflicts, key Republican Senator Bill Cassidy announced his support after receiving commitments from Kennedy about collaboration on public health. Kennedy, noted for advocating safety in vaccines, faces scrutiny over past comments and the implications of his leadership on vaccine policies as the final Senate vote approaches.
