US Senate panel to vote on RFK Jr.'s health secretary nomination

A U.S. Senate committee will vote Tuesday on whether to advance President Donald Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, the committee announced Sunday.
The U.S. Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee is set to vote on February 2, 2025, on the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary. Kennedy, an environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activist, was nominated by President Joe Biden, despite his controversial views on vaccines which have drawn criticism from public health experts and some Democratic senators. His nomination has sparked debate, with concerns about his potential impact on public health policy, particularly regarding vaccine mandates and misinformation. The vote is closely watched as it could influence the direction of health policy in the U.S., especially in the context of ongoing recovery from the global health crisis.
