Pence's Group Releases Ad Featuring Trump's Criticism of RFK Jr.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is actively campaigning against Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services, utilizing a video montage of President Trump's past criticisms of Kennedy. In the video, Trump labels RFK Jr. as a 'Democrat plant' and a 'radical left liberal,' urging senators to reject his nomination. Pence's advocacy group, Advancing American Freedom, is also running advertisements featuring Trump's remarks, emphasizing Kennedy's perceived liberal stances and anti-gun sentiments. Despite Kennedy's previous endorsement of Trump after dropping out of the presidential race, GOP opposition remains strong, particularly from Pence's camp. Kennedy's controversial history, including his anti-vaccine activism, has fueled further scrutiny, even among some Republican circles. The confirmation hearings are set to take place soon, with Kennedy facing a challenging path to approval given the political landscape.
