Senate Republicans are gearing up to scrutinize Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s views on abortion as part of his confirmation process to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under President-elect Donald Trump. Kennedy, a former Democrat and vocal critic of vaccine mandates, has raised concerns among pro-life lawmakers due to his past statements supporting abortion access.
A left-wing healthcare organization launched "Stop RFK War Room" in an effort to threaten Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is actively engaging with President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team to advocate for a leadership role in public health oversight, although he will not serve as the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in partnership with former President Donald Trump, launched the “Nominees for the People” website, an initiative aimed at involving everyday Americans in shaping a potential Trump administration.
One day before Election Day, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who had run as an independent presidential candidate, publicly urged his supporters not to vote for him. Instead, Kennedy directed his base to support former President Donald Trump.
