Democratic senators are in a unified chorus calling for Robert F. Kennedy Junior, the Secretary of Health and Human Services, to resign. The Senate Democrats are standing with at least a thousand former and current Health and Human Services employees who have submitted a letter calling for RFK Junior’s resignation. Kennedy has been the nation’s top health official for seven months.
However, the resignation recommendation became louder after a Senate hearing, during which Kennedy‘s answers were questioned on Capitol Hill. Mostly, Democratic Senators claim that Kennedy is unjustified in his stance against vaccines. Democratic Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock pointed out in the hearing that the most recent deadly measles outbreak was on Secretary Kennedy‘s watch as head of HHS.
