Trump jokes about RFK Jr. during nomination speech at Mar-a-Lago gala
Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services during a speech at the America First Policy Institute Gala in Mar-a-Lago. Trump praised Kennedy but also made a joking remark, saying, “Don’t get too popular Bobby.” Trump also joked about Elon Musk, who is set to co-lead a new department. He commented on Musk's frequent presence at Mar-a-Lago, saying, “I can’t get him out of here,” while praising his intelligence. Kennedy's nomination is expected to face challenges in the Senate, with potential opposition from both Democrats and some Republicans. Trump's spokesperson had earlier indicated Kennedy's likely appointment.
