Kennedy Nominated to Lead HHS

Nov 19, 2024

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

Mr. Kennedy, who was a candidate for president before withdrawing and endorsing former President Trump’s candidacy, would need to be confirmed by the Senate before leading HHS, which administers Medicare, Medicaid, the Food and Drug Administration, and other federal health agencies.

Over the next several weeks, the CAP will provide additional updates on the presidential and congressional transition.
