The Senate voted to confirm President Trump’s embattled Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The vote: 52-48. Former Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) was the only Republican “no” vote. Kennedy will oversee 13 separate agencies, including a $1.7 trillion budget (that’s more than 20 percent of the U.S.’s spending). During his Senate hearing, Kennedy was grilled by Senator Warner (D-VA) on funding for Community Health Centers. Kennedy responds he and the President completely supports CHCs and no funding will be withheld.
