The U.S. Senate today voted to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr.,
founder and former chairman of Children's Health Defense (CHD),
as U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary.
At press time, the vote was 51-48, largely along party lines, with
almost every Republican supporting Kennedy's nomination and all
Democrats and independents opposing it.
Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), the former longtime GOP leader, was
the only Republican to vote "no."
CHD CEO Mary Holland said:
"Children's Health Defense is thrilled that our founder
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been confirmed as the Secretary of Health
and Human Services. It has been a long, tough and ultimately
successful road.

"Bobby richly deserves this honor, and CHD is confident that
he will make great strides toward the goals he has set for HHS:
radical transparency, gold-standard science and making America healthy
again.
"We look forward to reporting on HHS activity and advancing
HHS objectives where appropriate. CHD will continue to focus on our
piece of the American health puzzle: ending the epidemic of chronic
childhood disease."
As HHS secretary, Kennedy will oversee the largest budget -
$1.8 trillion for fiscal year 2025 - of any federal agency.
