Donald Trump Says RFK Jr. will ‘work on’ women’s health if elected

Former President Donald Trump promises that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will “work on” women’s health issues if Vice President Kamala Harris is defeated in next week’s presidential election.

Kennedy, who suspended his independent presidential campaign and endorsed Trump in August, has a long history of promoting anti-vaccine conspiracy theories and misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic.

Regardless of Kennedy’s lack of medical training or expertise, it is widely believed that RFK Jr. would take a prominent position in health or medicine in a possible second Trump administration.

Trump hinted at a rally in Henderson, Nevada, on Thursday that he would have Kennedy play a key role in women’s health care if he wins a second term in the White House.

“Robert F. Kennedy Jr. we have,” Trump said. ‘And he will work on health, and on women’s health. And all those different reasons. Because we are not really a prosperous or healthy country. We’re not.’

“I told Bobby, ‘Bobby, I want you to take care of the health, I want you to look at the food and the food supply and things like that,’” he added.

Newsweek Contacted by email Thursday evening for comment on the Trump campaign.
