RFK Jr. Courts Republicans in Effort to Secure Top Health Job

Live Mint  

-- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is meeting with Republican senators who are seeking to better understand his views on abortion and vaccine policy as he courts their support this week for his nomination to the top role at the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy’s meetings with Republicans on key Senate committees are slated to run throughout the week, paving the way for the expected contentious confirmation hearings that will make or break his path into Trump’s cabinet. Kennedy, an environmental lawyer who has no background in health care or medicine, has spread misinformation about vaccination, including the discredited assertion that vaccines cause autism, though he recently suggested he “won’t take away anybody’s vaccines.” The lawmakers are interested in understanding how broadly his focus on vaccination will extend, the person said. Meanwhile on abortion, the Republican senators want assurances that Kennedy will roll back Biden-era abortion protections, particularly around the federal Title X family planning program, which under the current administration has allowed abortion referrals and the inclusion of providers that offer abortion services; the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act; and the expansion of certain care through Medicaid waivers. Former Vice President Mike Pence asked Senate republicans to reject Kennedy’s nomination due to his position on abortion.
