Sen. Fetterman Opposes Gabbard and Kennedy Cabinet Nominations

The Pennsylvania Democrat announces his decision to vote against two of President Trump's high-profile cabinet picks, citing their controversial records.

Sen. John Fetterman has stated he will vote against confirming Tulsi Gabbard as Director of National Intelligence and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Fetterman expressed concerns over Gabbard's past remarks on Edward Snowden, her perceived alignment with Kremlin narratives on Ukraine, and her 2017 meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Kennedy's nomination has drawn criticism due to his history of vaccine skepticism, with public health advocates warning of potential harm to immunization efforts if confirmed.
Despite opposing these nominees, Fetterman has supported several other Trump cabinet picks, including those for Attorney General and Secretary of Homeland Security.
Both Gabbard and Kennedy advanced through committee votes along party lines, but Fetterman joins other Democrats in rejecting their confirmations.
