DeSantis considers RFK Jr. for FDA or CDC role.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Considers RFK Jr. for Key Health Positions
During a recent interview with Clay Travis on Outkick, Florida Governor and potential 2024 presidential candidate Ron DeSantis (R) expressed his openness to appointing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead either the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). While DeSantis stated that he would not choose RFK Jr. as his running mate, he acknowledged that RFK Jr.’s stance on certain medical issues does appeal to him.
“Sic him on the FDA if he’s willing to serve, or sic him on the CDC,” DeSantis said. “But in terms of being veep, if there’s 70% of the issues that he may be averse to our base on, you know, that just creates an issue.”
RFK Jr., who is currently running for president as a Democrat, has faced criticism for his skepticism of vaccines, which has become a contentious topic during the pandemic. Despite this, RFK Jr. has clarified that he is not against all vaccines and has spoken out against online and media censorship of his activism and claims.
Interestingly, RFK Jr. has positioned himself as somewhat of a moderate on other healthcare issues. In a recent statement, he expressed his support for abortion rights while acknowledging that every abortion is a tragedy.
