  • The health secretary nominee, after meeting resistance in some corners, plans to play down his vaccine skepticism and pro-abortion stances.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an independent presidential candidate, has devised a strategy to secure Senate confirmation for his potential Cabinet, focusing on appointing individuals who are not only qualified but also capable of gaining bipartisan support. His plan includes selecting figures like former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard for Defense Secretary, citing her military background and appeal to both parties. For Attorney General, he considers former Republican Rep. Justin Amash, known for his libertarian views and criticism of government overreach. Kennedy also plans to nominate experts like Dr. Paul Marik for Health and Human Services, emphasizing his expertise in public health and his stance against mainstream medical narratives. This approach aims to bridge political divides by choosing candidates who can appeal to a broad spectrum of Senators, thereby increasing the likelihood of their confirmation.
