Robert Kennedy's confirmation vote for HHS Secretary is approaching, with strong Republican backing and some Democratic concerns. Republican Senator Barrasso emphasizes Kennedy's qualifications and the need for improved American health, while Democrats are reportedly critical of Kennedy's stance on vaccines. The confirmation process for Trump's nominees is moving at a faster pace compared to his first term.
Kennedy’s confirmation vote follows two hearings last week in which some Republicans took issue with his stance on vaccines. When asked if Kennedy would have enough support, Barrasso said Republicans are “working very hard” to ensure Trump’s nominees get confirmed, suggesting that Democratic lawmakers view Kennedy as a “traitor” in this confirmation process.
“I’m a doctor, I support his nomination, I thought he did wonderfully at the two days of hearings, he had to go to two different hearings for this,” Barrasso said on Fox News’s. “We need to make America healthy again. We spend almost a quarter of the money of this country on healthcare, and what happens? We have chronic problems, epidemics of obesity, diabetes, chronic disease. We need to do much, much more. I think Robert Kennedy is the right person.
