The U.S. Senate on Wednesday advanced President Donald Trump's nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services, setting up a likely vote on awarding him the position in coming days.

Kennedy managed to allay the concerns of several key GOP senators over his anti-vaccine activism. Mitch McConnell was the lone Republican to vote against him.

RFK Jr. was confirmed Thursday as HHS secretary, but it remains to be seen how he will turn his MAHA vision into specific policies to improve America's health.
