Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Joins Trump Administration As HHS Secretary

President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to serve as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), entrusting him with the task of addressing America’s ongoing health crisis. Kennedy, a former third-party presidential candidate, has committed to working with Trump to improve public health outcomes for all Americans.

Announcing the appointment, Trump stated, “For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation and disinformation when it comes to public health.” He noted Kennedy’s dedication to transparency and reform as key qualifications for the role.

Kennedy’s extensive work in environmental and health advocacy has prepared him to lead efforts aimed at reducing the harmful effects of pollutants, pesticides, and food additives. Trump expressed confidence that Kennedy will “help ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals and restore these agencies to the traditions of gold standard scientific research.”

Despite doubts from some quarters about whether Kennedy would receive a major role in the administration, Trump’s decision affirms Kennedy’s significant contribution to the campaign’s shared goal of making America “healthy again.”

Kennedy is expected to focus on reducing chronic disease rates by prioritizing transparency and scientific rigor in public health policies. His leadership at HHS signals a new direction in tackling the systemic issues plaguing the nation’s health agencies.

This appointment underscores Trump’s commitment to addressing health and safety concerns through bold reforms, giving Kennedy a platform to implement meaningful change.
