Pence's Group Launches Campaign Against RFK Jr.'s HHS Nomination

Former Vice President Mike Pence's advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom, is launching a six-figure ad campaign aimed at blocking Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services. The ads primarily feature President Trump criticizing Kennedy as a 'radical liberal' and 'Democrat plant,' urging voters to reject his nomination. Kennedy's confirmation hearing is set for Wednesday, with more than 80 organizations, including several left-leaning groups, opposing his appointment due to his vaccine views and pro-choice stance on abortion. Pence's group argues that Kennedy's positions on these issues make him unfit for the role, while some Republican senators express skepticism about the nomination. Meanwhile, conservative activists are rallying support for Kennedy, highlighting a divided opinion within the GOP. Despite the opposition, no Senate Republican has publicly stated they will vote against him, leaving the outcome uncertain as the hearing approaches.
