Gabbard and RFK Jr. be confronted

Sarah Ewall-Wice, Senior US Political Reporter:

The Senate Financing Committee will vote on Tuesday about the appointment of Robert Kennedy Jr. For secretary of health and human services.

If he is successfully voted out of the committee, it will lead the senate floor, but it is unclear whether he has the votes.

Some Republicans, including Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), ‘struggled’ with his nomination and released their concern about this earlier work against vaccinations and basic knowledge of Medicare and Medicaid with some brutal confirmation hearings last week.

The Senate Information Committee is also expected to keep a vote on Tuesday about the appointment of Tulsi Gabbard to serve as director of National Intelligence, a source confirmed.

Some Gop Senators expressed reservations After Gabbard refused to call Edward Snowden a ‘traitor’ during her confirmation state last week.
