Robert F. Kennedy Jr. confirmed by Senate as U.S. health secretary
RFK Jr. was confirmed Thursday as HHS secretary, but it remains to be seen how he will turn his MAHA vision into specific policies to improve America's health.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the activist-turned-politician with a long history of embracing anti-scientific views, will become the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Senators voted 52-48 on Thursday to confirm Kennedy to the role. Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) voted against RFK Jr., as did all Democrats.
