Caroline Kennedy has intensified the backlash against her cousin, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whom President Donald Trump nominated as the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In a strongly worded letter to senators on Tuesday, she urged them to reconsider his nomination, labeling him a "predator" and questioning his qualifications for the role.
Kennedy Jr. has faced significant backlash regarding his HHS nomination, including a digital ad campaign targeting his anti-vaccine stance. Former Vice President Mike Pence and several GOP senators are also lobbying against him due to concerns surrounding abortion rights.
