President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, a decision that has raised eyebrows among public health experts due to Kennedy's history as a prominent anti-vaccine activist. Trump has expressed his confidence in Kennedy, stating he will allow him to take significant actions regarding health and food policies. Following his own presidential bid, Kennedy endorsed Trump and was subsequently offered a role in the administration, which has sparked internal discussions among Trump's team. Kennedy's nomination is seen as a provocative choice that could challenge Senate Republicans during the confirmation process. Additionally, Kennedy is engaging with the public for policy suggestions via a new website, aiming to involve citizens in the transition team’s decisions. The nomination reflects Trump's strategy to capitalize on his electoral victory and the Republican majority in the Senate.
