The Secretary of Health, a member of the powerful Kennedy dynasty, has led anti-vaccination campaigns that have proven unpopular. The President is now keeping him under scrutiny.

He's not in danger of losing his job yet, but he's close. According to the Wall Street Journal, the White House has put Health Secretary Robert Kennedy on the ropes because his public outbursts are irritating voters ahead of the midterm elections.

It must end the 'crusades' against vaccines, pay more attention to topics such as reducing drug prices or healthy eating, also referring to the problem of the cost of living that risks damaging the ruling party.

The son of the presidential candidate killed in Los Angeles, after a life spent with the Democrats like his father, decided to turn against family tradition during the 2024 presidential election. Frustrated by the lack of space, he first ran as an independent to get votes for Joe Biden, and then joined the Trump campaign. He was rewarded with the post of head of the National Health Service, an early obsession of his, especially because of his dissatisfaction with pharmaceutical companies and vaccine manufacturers, a feeling widely shared by the base of the MAGA movement. For this, he invented the parallel slogan Make America Healthy Again, starting his “revolution”.

The problem is that not all of his initiatives were well-received by the public. The anti-vaccine crusade, in particular, is not very popular with most Americans. Kennedy also made political and managerial mistakes, such as underestimating the measles epidemic in Texas, or the FDA approval of an abortion pill. Trump further irritated him when he signed an executive order to favor the use of glyphosate, a pesticide that Robert Kennedy had taken to court, accusing it of being carcinogenic.

Administration spokespeople told the Wall Street Journal that the secretary's relationship with the president remains good, but there is no doubt that there has been friction between them, as evidenced by several personnel changes in the department that penalized or removed Kennedy people to replace them with figures closer to Trump, such as new deputy Chris Klomp.

Also on the rise is Dr. Mehmet Oz, the television host whom Trump has appointed to head the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and is seen as the front-runner to take over as secretary if the president decides to fire Kennedy, as he did with Kristi Noem.

Pending a decision on Kennedy, the White House has put him on the "rope," according to the Wall Street Journal headline. On the eve of the midterm elections to be held in November this year, he should avoid speaking out on the most controversial topics, working as a team on those that appeal to Trump and the public./ La Repubblica
