Colorado governor supports Trump's pick of RFK Jr. for health role
Colorado Governor Jared Polis expressed support for President-elect Donald Trump's choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Health and Human Services department. This marks a shift from Polis's previous criticisms of Kennedy's controversial views. Other Democrats criticized Kennedy's selection, with Rep. Robert Garcia calling it "insane" and warning it could harm public health. Sen. Patty Murray described it as "dangerous," highlighting concerns over Kennedy's anti-vaccine stance. Polis had previously opposed Kennedy's beliefs but noted their agreement on vaccine mandates. He emphasized the need to address public health issues like pesticide impacts and drug prices in his support for Kennedy.
