The White House is hoping President Trump’s plummeting popularity won’t be enough to help Democrats take control of Congress if HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s push to reshape the American diet proves popular with voters.
According to Politico, the Trump administration and Republican political figures believe Kennedy’s work to reform America’s food supply and upend longstanding dietary guidelines is broadly popular with a wide swath of voters that don’t fit into partisan boxes. That might be enough to sway some to vote Republican out of fear that if Democrats take control of Congress it could slow those efforts.
