In the span of one year, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. closed out his independent presidential campaign, endorsed President Donald Trump and now faces a clear path to head the Department of Health and Human Services.
His trajectory to one of the most influential Cabinet positions in the Trump administration was buoyed in large part by the movement he led, dubbed Make America Healthy Again, which has sparked the creation of a political action committee as well as a congressional caucus devoted to lowering rates of chronic disease and removing industry influence from the agencies.
The movement is not without controversy. Kennedy’s opponents have taken issue with his history of sowing distrust in vaccines, including heading the anti-vaccine group Children’s Health Defense. Kennedy has maintained that he’s not against vaccines but has repeatedly called into question the established science behind them.
