In a surprising move, President-elect Donald Trump has announced that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be his choice to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy, a prominent environmentalist and member of the famous Kennedy family, has had a long history of advocacy for health and environmental issues.
Kennedy’s appointment comes as a surprise to many, as he is known for his strong stance on issues such as vaccine safety and environmental protection. Some have praised Trump for selecting a leader with a track record of speaking out on important health issues, while others have expressed concerns about Kennedy’s controversial views.
The Senate will now need to confirm Kennedy’s appointment, a process that is likely to be closely watched and possibly contentious given his outspoken views. It remains to be seen how Kennedy will approach his new role and what changes he may bring to the Department of Health and Human Services.
