Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Role
Independent 2024 presidential candidate who withdrew from swing states and endorsed Trump; confirmed as HHS Secretary February 2025
Background
Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. is an environmental attorney and anti-vaccine activist. He ran as an independent candidate in the 2024 presidential election before withdrawing from ballot access in five swing states in August 2024 and endorsing Donald Trump, a strategic move that many analysts credited with helping Trump win those states. Trump nominated him as Secretary of Health and Human Services, and he was confirmed by the Senate in February 2025 despite significant controversy over his long-standing promotion of vaccine misinformation.
