What Americans think about Hegseth, Rubio, Musk and RFK Jr.

^{Published on 2025-01-15 08:00:40 - PBS}

Several nominees face critical tests in the U.S. Senate before President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House on Monday. Here's a look at what Americans said in this latest poll.

The article from PBS NewsHour discusses the varied public reactions to comments made by Fox News host Pete Hegseth, Senator Marco Rubio, Elon Musk, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. regarding conspiracy theories and controversial statements. Hegseth suggested that the 2020 election was stolen, a claim that has been widely debunked, yet resonates with some viewers. Rubio's comments on the potential for a civil war if political tensions continue to escalate have sparked debate about the state of American politics. Elon Musk, after acquiring Twitter, has engaged with and amplified controversial figures and theories, influencing public discourse. Meanwhile, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a long-shot Democratic presidential candidate, has made unfounded claims about vaccines and the pharmaceutical industry, gaining traction among those skeptical of mainstream narratives. These statements reflect a broader trend of conspiracy theories gaining ground in American political and social discussions, highlighting a divide in public trust towards institutions and media.
