Colorado Governor Backs RFK Jr. for HHS, Defying Party Lines on Trump's Choice | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The president-elect is progressing with his cabinet picks and the choices this time are far different from the people he selected for his first administration. Possible Health and Human Services pick Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is drawing criticism from Democrats on Capitol Hill, but Jared Polis, the Democrat Governor of Colorado, says he is excited by the news, adding Kennedy will help make America healthy again. A professor and historian at George Washington University in the nation's capital, Professor Timothy Shenk, helps us unpack this. President-elect Trump finished with 312 electoral college votes and also won the popular vote. Shenk discusses whether margins like that give the president-elect a little more leeway in his selections. Shenk explains how tough the Senate confirmation hearings are and what this could mean for Matt Gaetz, the president-elect's pick to be attorney general. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
