YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Donald Trump will take part in a swearing-in ceremony for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the Secretary of Health and Human Services on Thursday.
The Senate confirmed RFK Jr. on Thursday morning.
Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate and the 52-48 vote for President Trump's controversial nominee fell largely along those lines, with former majority leader Mitch McConnell – who had polio as a child – the only Republican to vote no.
Leading up to the confirmation, Kennedy appeared before the Finance Committee and the Health Committee. His confirmation was initially far from certain in the Senate after facing pointed questioning from both Republicans and Democrats on both committees.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is the son of Democratic icon Robert F. Kennedy, who was assassinated in 1968 during his own presidential campaign.
The 71-year-old, whose famous name and family tragedies have put him in the national spotlight since he was a child, has spent years airing his populist — and sometimes controversial — views in podcasts, TV interviews and speeches, building his own quixotic brand.
Health and Human Services has a broad reach across the lives of Americans, including inspecting the nation’s food, regulating medicines and overseeing research of diseases and cures. It provides health insurance for nearly half of the country — poor, disabled and older Americans, including via Medicare.
The agency oversees a $1.7-trillion budget.
