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

President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Kennedy, an environmental activist known for his anti-vaccine stance, previously ran for president as an independent. Kennedy dropped out of the race in August and endorsed Trump, reportedly in exchange for a position in his administration. The Health Department oversees drug safety, medical research, and social programs like Medicare and Medicaid. Trump stated that Kennedy will help improve health in the U.S. during his victory speech on November 6.
