RFK Jr. will lead the Department of Health and Human Services. The final showdown over Kennedy s controversial nomination was set after Republicans in the Senate invoked cloture, which started the clock ticking toward the final confirmation roll call. Kennedy will control 1. 7 trillion in spending for vaccines, food safety and health insurance programs. The 71yearold has devoted his time to a nonprofit that sued vaccine makers. Republican President Donald Trump has backed Kennedy, saying he believes RFK Jr. is uniquely positioned to revive trust in those public health agencies.
