Republican Senator Susan Collins announced on Monday her support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Donald Trump's nominee to lead the US Department of Health and Human Services. This decision marks a significant endorsement for Kennedy's nomination.
Collins had previously refrained from revealing her stance on the nomination as she continued to assess the candidate. However, she confirmed her support for Kennedy in a recent statement. Her announcement comes after Senator Bill Cassidy, another pivotal Republican vote, also expressed his backing for Trump's pick.
