RFK Jr. expected to be tapped to lead Department of Health and Human Services
President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly planning to appoint Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). A source within the transition team, who wished to remain anonymous but claimed to be knowledgeable about the situation, confirmed the decision in a recent phone call.
This news comes shortly after Trump’s victory in the presidential election. Kennedy, who has been a prominent supporter of Trump throughout his campaign, has been seen as a key figure in the incoming administration.
In a recent interview, Kennedy discussed his potential role in the White House and hinted at making significant changes within federal agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). He expressed concerns about the performance of certain departments, particularly criticizing the FDA’s nutrition division for allowing products with excessive additives like Froot Loops to be sold in the U.S.
The image of Kennedy and Trump shaking hands at a campaign rally in Glendale, Arizona, serves as a reminder of their close relationship and shared goals for the future of the country.
As this story continues to develop, stay tuned for updates on this appointment and its potential impact on the nation’s health policies.
