2 Minute Article Senate Confirms Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Health and Human Services Secretary

The Senate has confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Trump, in a closely contested 52-48 vote. Kennedy, known for his controversial views on vaccines, faced significant opposition during the confirmation process. Despite concerns, he secured Republican support by committing to collaborate with Congress on vaccine safety. His appointment follows his endorsement of Trump after an independent presidential bid, and it has drawn criticism from Democrats who question his qualifications and stance on public health issues.
