RFK Jr. has been tapped by Trump as his pick for health secretary | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: President-elect Trump continues to build his administration with notable cabinet appointments. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has joined, pledging to “make America healthy again,” focusing on eliminating unhealthy foods and addressing pharmaceutical corruption. Despite his controversial vaccine skepticism and fringe ideas like removing fluoride from water, Kennedy is expected to bring disruption to Health and Human Services. Additionally, Trump has picked former Congressman Doug Collins for Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Todd Blanch as Deputy Attorney General. Dean John Sour has been named Solicitor General. All appointments await Senate approval in January, as reported by Connor Hansen from Fox News.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ran as an independent in this year’s presidential race, abandoned his bid after striking a deal to give Donald Trump his endorsement with a promise to have a role in health policy in the administration.
