WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) took to the Senate floor today to express his strong opposition to the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the head of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Padilla highlighted significant concerns regarding the potential public health consequences should Kennedy be confirmed for the position.
In his remarks, Padilla emphasized the importance of appointing a leader at HHS who prioritizes science-based public health policies. He criticized Kennedy for his controversial views and actions, which he argued could undermine trust in health institutions at a time when the nation is still grappling with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. The senator's comments reflect a growing unease among some lawmakers about the implications of Kennedy's nomination for public health strategy and policy.
Padilla's speech underscores the critical nature of the HHS role, particularly in addressing ongoing health challenges and ensuring the safety and well-being of the American public.
