Robert F. Kennedy Jr. clinched two wins on Thursday: He was confirmed and sworn in as the nation’s health secretary, and then got a presidential kickstart to his “Make America Healthy Again” plans.
After a winding ascent to the highest levels of government, President Trump welcomed Kennedy to the role with an Oval Office swearing-in ceremony. Then, Trump signed an executive order establishing “The President’s Commission to Make America Healthy Again” commission, with Kennedy as the chair. The commission will investigate what’s causing the decades-long increase in childhood chronic illness, Trump said. It will then deliver “an action plan” to the public.
