Republicans members of Alabama’s Congressional delegation are lauding the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s pick to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was confirmed by the Senate Thursday to be the HHS Secretary, with U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell being the only Republican to vote against his confirmation.
“It’s time to make America healthy again!” U.S. Rep. Barry Moore (R-Enterprise) said.

Kennedy originally ran for President as a Democrat in 2024 before eventually running as an Independent. He then dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump.
Huge day for our nation – just confirmed,” U.S. Sen. Katie Britt (R-Montgomery) said. “[Robert Kennedy Jr.] as HHS Secretary. Together with [POTUS], we’ll Make America Healthy Again by ensuring objective science, empowering families, and tackling our nation’s health crisis head-on.”

U.S. Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn), who is a member of the Make America Health Again caucus, said he’s excited about the necessary changes the confirmation will bring.
Congratulations to my friend @RobertKennedyJr on your confirmation to lead HHS.
Now, it’s time to bring transparency to our vaccines, food, and health care.
