The U.S. Senate, controlled by the Republican Party, has approved the appointment of Robert Kennedy Jr. as the assistant secretary for health. This decision was made on Thursday. Robert Kennedy Jr., a well-known representative of the Democrats and a human rights advocate, will head the Department of Health and Human Services.
"I can't think of a greater challenge than protecting the health of Americans during these difficult times," Kennedy said in his address to senators ahead of the vote. "I am ready to do everything possible to ensure that every resident of the country has access to high-quality medical care, and I eagerly await working with you on this task."
