AllSides Media Bias Rating: Lean Right
President-elect Donald Trump has been busy appointing choice after choice to his Cabinet with some well-known picks, while some others have been more unorthodox.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could be considered both, and it is why Trump could have a tough time placing him in a position that requires confirmation from the Senate.
While Senate Republicans are willing to listen to Trump on any Cabinet choice, Kennedy’s prior stances on vaccines, his quizzical history with animals, and his unpopularity with Senate Democrats could prove to be significant roadblocks. At least one Republican senator will likely back the choice.
