Mike Pence's Advocacy Group Opposes RFK Jr.'s Nomination as Health Secretary

Pence's organization urges GOP senators to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s nomination over his abortion stance and past controversial positions.

  • Advancing American Freedom, a conservative group founded by Mike Pence, is calling for senators to oppose Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s appointment as Health and Human Services Secretary.
  • The group cites Kennedy's past support for abortion rights as inconsistent with the anti-abortion stance of the Trump administration's first term.
  • Kennedy has attempted to reassure Republican senators, pledging to implement Trump's anti-abortion policies and appoint pro-life deputies within the department.
  • Critics from both parties have raised concerns over Kennedy's controversial views on vaccines, public health, and environmental regulations.
  • Kennedy's confirmation hearings are scheduled for late January, with senators expected to scrutinize his positions on abortion and public health policies.
