Senate Confirms RFK Jr. as Health Secretary, Judiciary Committee Advances Patel | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The Senate confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as Secretary of Health and Human Services in a 52-48 vote, with former Minority Leader Mitch McConnell the only Republican opposing him, citing his anti-vaccine stance. Supporters, including Sen. Bill Cassidy, backed Kennedy despite concerns from Democrats, who warned his policies could undermine public health. Meanwhile, the Judiciary Committee advanced Kash Patel’s nomination to lead the FBI in a 12-10 vote, with Democrats accusing him of lying under oath and orchestrating a "purge" of the bureau. Republicans defended Patel, arguing he will address FBI misconduct, including alleged targeting of Catholic families and political bias.
