5:21Now PlayingSen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., questioned Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday in a hearing on President Donald Trump’s 2027 budget request.
Kennedy appeared before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
In an earlier hearing, Kennedy faced questioning about his stance on vaccines, Trump’s drug website known as Trump Rx, as well as proposed cuts to Medicaid and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician and influential chair of the Senate Health Committee, had opportunities in both hearings Wednesday to press Kennedy, whose approach to vaccines he’s criticized in the past.
