Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s relationship with the White House has become “non-existent,” fueling speculation that he could be the next member of President Donald Trump’s cabinet to get the ax, according to a report. Kennedy, the de facto face of the so-called Make America Healthy Again movement, has become a polarizing figure at the Department of Health and Human Services.
Rumors have been swirling for months that Trump has “had it” with Kennedy, according to Puck News, while the MAHA Action group is said to be “despondent over Kennedy’s diminished standing inside the White House,” the outlet reports, citing a source who works with the movement.
Part of the frustration reportedly stems from criticism that the health secretary has undermined longstanding vaccine policies, which have generated a slew of negative headlines, as well as carrying out “draconian cuts” to the department.
