RFK Jr. Grilled in Senate

During four days of testimony, Kennedy defended the Trump administration's plan to cut the Health and Human Services budget by 12% while boosting defense spending.

Democratic senators pressed him on his responsibility for declining vaccination rates, which he attributed to immigration and external factors rather than his own rhetoric.

Kennedy also faced scrutiny over bizarre promotional videos featuring him as a professional wrestler and video game character.

Despite the intense questioning, he sought to maintain a balance between his MAHA base and White House priorities.
