Trump nominates Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead US Health Department

Donald Trump announced he will nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). This follows Trump's earlier promise to let Kennedy "go wild on health" during a rally in October. Kennedy, known for his anti-vaccine stance and environmental activism, has been a controversial figure. He has spread misinformation about vaccines and health issues, which has raised concerns about his suitability for the role. His nomination requires congressional approval. Unlike previous HHS leaders, Kennedy lacks extensive public health experience, which may lead to challenges in implementing his proposed changes within the department.
