President-elect Donald Trump has named Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), signaling a major step toward addressing the nation’s health crisis. Kennedy, who previously ran against Trump as a third-party candidate, has now joined forces with the president-elect to focus on improving the health and safety of all Americans.
Announcing the appointment, Trump said, “For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation and disinformation when it comes to public health.” Trump emphasized that Kennedy’s leadership would be vital in combating these challenges.

Kennedy, a long-time advocate for environmental and health reforms, will be tasked with tackling issues such as harmful chemicals, pollutants, and pharmaceutical products that have contributed to chronic diseases. Trump said Kennedy’s appointment aims to restore public trust by prioritizing transparency and “gold standard scientific research.”
Speculation that Kennedy would not receive a significant role in the administration has been proven false. Trump’s decision to place him in such a pivotal position underscores the president-elect’s belief in Kennedy’s ability to drive meaningful reforms.
