Trump using right-wing loyalists to keep RFK Jr on a tight leash: report
Raw StoryRobert F. Kennedy Jr., tapped to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, campaigned with President-elect Donald Trump after suspending his own independent presidential bid, and the two of them agree on a number of issues, like their conspiracy theories on vaccination. "Transition officials plan to install several longtime GOP allies in senior roles across the health department, filling out key parts of Kennedy’s leadership team well before he could be confirmed as Health and Human Services secretary," reported Adam Cancryn and David Lim. A half dozen GOP operatives privy to the transition told Politico, "The push aims to surround Kennedy with conservative policymakers who can compensate for his lack of government experience and MAGA credentials — while also ensuring the White House can keep close tabs on an HHS nominee who many Trump aides still don’t fully trust." While public health officials broadly fear Kennedy could put America at risk by undermining vaccine policy, he has already made plans for some other policies that don't line up smoothly with typical GOP orthodoxy.
