Senate set to vote on confirmation of RFK, Jr. to lead Department of Health and Human Services Thursday; Baldwin: “RFK, Jr. will put Americans in harm’s way”

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) took to the Senate floor to express her opposition to the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.

Senator Baldwin announced her opposition to Mr. Kennedy’s nomination following a one-on-one meeting with him. She penned an op-ed in Newsweek detailing her reservations about his open opposition to safe and effective vaccines, his agenda to undermine vital research to find cures for cancer and Alzheimer’s disease, and his decadeslong track record of spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories.
