Politician and anti-vaccine activist Robert Kennedy Jr., whom Donald Trump, who won the US presidential election, is going to appoint to a high-ranking position, is already considering candidates for health care positions for the future administration.
⠀
“Kennedy, who comes from a prominent political family, was asked to recommend candidates for positions in all health regulatory agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration, said Del. Bigtree, who was the campaign’s communications director. Kennedy remains close to the former candidate,” the sources said.
⠀
Earlier, it became known that Kennedy Jr. is unlikely to be able to head the Department of Health and other health authorities, because moderate Republicans in Congress are likely to vote against his candidacy. According to the portal, Kennedy Jr. has a chance to take the post of adviser to Trump. Kennedy Jr. is often criticized for his alleged conspiracy theories and health care claims that are not supported by facts.
⠀
Trump has previously said that he expects to appoint his closest supporters – billionaire Elon Musk and politician Robert Kennedy Jr. – to “influential positions” in the future administration if he is re-elected.
