Overview

  • On August 15, Secretary Kennedy issued a post on X denouncing claims of a 2028 presidential campaign as a “flat‐out lie” and ruled out any bid.
  • July’s MAHA-aligned PAC calls created impressions of a possible candidacy that Kennedy says were orchestrated by Washington lobbyists aiming to divide him from President Trump.
  • He reiterated his commitment to President Trump and the Make America Healthy Again agenda, stressing his focus on ending the chronic disease epidemic.
  • Kennedy defended deputy chief of staff Stefanie Spear, praising her as a “fierce, loyal warrior for MAHA” after she was singled out by influencer Laura Loomer.
  • His statement comes amid scrutiny over recent HHS actions, including pausing $500 million in mRNA vaccine research and complying with a court order to halt Medicaid data sharing with immigration officials.
