than a "placeholder" for Trump. He and his staff are the deciders. He will do what ever he is told. The one thing that makes him standout is he is a "anti-vaxer" and has pushed this ideology. Sadly, there are many people who used his opinion to support their reluctance to get vaccinated. This is not a science-based decision, and many people have died because of this stupidity.

The votes to flip Congress are waiting to be cast.
