Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is President Trump’s nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services. On Wednesday, he attended his first confirmation meeting with senators, followed by a hearing before the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions on Thursday.
During the hearing, there was a humorous moment when RFK Jr. reassured lawmakers that he had no intention of restricting Americans from consuming items like McDonald’s or Diet Coke. He joked that he was aware President Trump enjoys them from time to time as well.
