Several House Republicans have expressed concerns about President Trump's nomination of Kennedy, citing his history of anti-vaccine activism. While acknowledging Trump's right to nominate his preferred candidates, some GOP members have reservations about Kennedy's stance on vaccines.
Rep. Dan Newhouse stated that if he were in the Senate, he would have significant questions regarding Kennedy's position on vaccines. Newhouse, who has faced challenges from Trump allies in the past, emphasized that the confirmation process is essential for all nominees, including Kennedy.
