Colorado Governor Jared Polis has expressed his support for President-elect Donald Trump’s recent decision to nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the next Secretary of Health and Human Services. The announcement came last Thursday and has sparked both praise and criticism.
President Trump shared that he believes RFK Jr. will improve the Health and Human Services by focusing on top-quality scientific research and openness. Trump said that Kennedy would tackle the issues caused by the food and pharmaceutical industries, which he claims have misled the public about health.
Governor Polis, although previously critical of Trump, is optimistic about Kennedy’s appointment. He said he is ready to work with Kennedy to overcome challenges from powerful groups who may resist change. This collaboration aims to enhance America’s health standards.
In addition to supporting Kennedy, Governor Polis has joined Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker in leading a new group called Governors Safeguarding Democracy. They are cautious about Trump’s approach to government but see potential for positive changes with the right team. Polis is eager to see improvements in American health under this new leadership.
