President-elect Donald Trump is expected to announce that hes chosen Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, several news outlets are reporting.
That announcement will send shockwaves through the public health sector - as Kennedy is a prominent anti-vaxxer and has pushed conspiracy theories about a number of health-related topics.
DailyMail.com previously reported that Dr. Ben Carson - a respected surgeon turned 2016 presidential candidate - was in the mix.
But Kennedy boosted Trumps 2024 run by suspending his campaign the day after the Democratic National Convention wrapped up in August - telling his supporters to back the Republican in key swing states.
Kennedy later changed his tune and told all of his supporters they should vote Trump - under the shared goal to Make America Healthy Again.
