Trump’s nightmare pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will be going through the Senate Finance and Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committees to defend his disastrous record of pushing numerous conspiracy theories around vaccines and HIV.
Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, and John Cornyn, who are up for reelection in 2026, have not made it clear where they stand on confirming RFK Jr. despite his long list of disqualifications. Hundreds of doctors from Maine and North Carolina have expressed their concern with RFK Jr. and urged Collins and Tillis to vote against his nomination.

“If Collins, Tillis, and Cornyn give the thumbs up to health conspiracy pusher RFK Jr., they have once again shown where their loyalties lie — not with their constituents or the American people, but with Trump and his extremist agenda,” said American Bridge 21st Century spokesperson Nico Delgado. “Tillis and Cornyn are more focused on avoiding primary challenges than on upholding the values of integrity and public service, and Collins doesn’t even have that excuse. Their political cowardice is not only a disservice to the people of Maine, North Carolina, and Texas, but a betrayal of the Senate’s responsibility as a check on executive power. It’s time they stop putting their political survival ahead of what’s right for the country.”
