President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services. This decision has drawn sharp criticism from Democrats, who label Kennedy as "dangerous" and "unqualified" due to his anti-vaccine stance. Kennedy, who previously ran for president, endorsed Trump after withdrawing from the race. Trump praised Kennedy's commitment to restoring public health agencies and addressing chronic diseases, stating he would have significant freedom in health-related matters. In addition, Trump announced North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum as his choice for Secretary of the Interior, with a formal announcement expected soon.
