Since exiting the race and backing the Republican presidential nominee, Kennedy has championed an effort to “Make America Healthy Again.”

In a CNN interview on Wednesday, Howard Lutnick, a co-chair of Trump’s transition team, disputed reports that Trump would tap Kennedy to lead HHS, which would require Senate confirmation. “He’s not going to be the secretary, no.”
