Who could be in Donald Trump’s cabinet? What new administration may look like

Must read

The past two years have been quite a journey for the nephew of former President John F Kennedy.

An environmental lawyer by trade, he ran for president as a Democrat, with most of his family speaking out against his anti-vaccine views and conspiracy theories as they endorsed Joe Biden’s re-election.

He then switched to an independent candidacy but, failing to gain traction amid a series of controversies, dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump.

In the last two months of the 2024 election cycle, he spearheaded a Trump campaign initiative called “Make America Healthy Again”.

Trump recently promised he would play a major role related to public health agencies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Safety Administration (FDA).

RFK Jr, as he is known, recently asserted he would push to remove fluoride from drinking water because “it’s a very bad way to deliver it into our systems” – though this has been challenged by some experts.

And in an interview with NBC News, Kennedy rejected the idea that he was “anti-vaccine”, saying he wouldn’t “take away anybody’s vaccines” but rather provide them with “the best information” to make their own choices.

Rather than a formal cabinet position, Kennedy used the interview to suggest he could take on a broader role within the White House.
