Kennedy Jr. Heads to Capitol Hill for High-Stakes Back-to-Back Senate Hearings

RFK Jr. travels to Capitol Hill for back-to-back hearings before the Senate Finance and HELP committees, facing questions from Sen. Bill Cassidy over his vaccine policies and his pledge to preserve federal vaccine guidance. Cassidy, who helped name him, has criticized Kennedy’s approach but has not yet moved forward with related nominations. The hearings follow Kennedy’s controversial vaccine-schedule overhaul (blocked by a federal court) and will probe his accountability on vaccines and broader health policy, including USPSTF reforms and psychedelic research orders.
