RFK Jr.’s Supporters Doubt Trump’s Health Policy Pledge

In the wake of abandoning his presidential campaign, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. rallied his followers to back Donald Trump. Trump’s reassurance to allow Kennedy substantial influence over health policy captivated Kennedy’s base, who rallied under the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) initiative. However, the limitations of this promise are becoming clear to MAHA voters. Some supporters are now expressing disappointment with the administration’s direction on health care.
