President-elect Donald Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for HHS Secretary faces potential challenges in the Senate Finance Committee, where some Republicans express skepticism. While some GOP members, like Ron Johnson and Marsha Blackburn, support Kennedy, others remain non-committal or have not commented. The nomination could be jeopardized if a few Republicans join Democrats in opposition, especially given Kennedy's controversial views on vaccines and public health.
