Robert F. Kennedy Jr., despite his long history of opposing widely accepted vaccines, is a step closer to leading the nation’s health agencies.
The Senate Finance Committee voted on party lines 14-13 to recommend his confirmation on Tuesday.
“It is time to put someone in there who’s going to go wild,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) said after voting to advance Kennedy’s confirmation, referencing President Donald Trump’s promise to Kennedy after Kennedy dropped his presidential bid last summer and endorsed Trump.
