Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has that former President Donald Trump has promised to give him “control” of several public health agencies

“I’m going to let him go wild on health,” former President Donald Trump declared Sunday at his rally at Madison Square Garden. “I’m going to let him go wild on food. I’m going to let him go wild on medicines.”

Trump was referring to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a former political rival whom Trump has increasingly hinted will take on a health-related role in his administration if he wins a second term.

Trump's remarks were part of an ongoing trend, as he and Kennedy appeared together at a Turning Point Action Rally in Duluth, GA, on October 23, 2024. Kennedy has indicated that Trump promised him oversight of key agencies like the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
