A political advocacy organization founded by former Vice President Mike Pence has initiated a strategic campaign urging Republican senators to oppose Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination as Secretary of Health and Human Services under former President Donald Trump.
The campaign highlights RFK Jr.’s prior support for abortion rights as a significant point of contention, positioning it as a direct conflict with the pro-life values held by many conservatives. Pence, who served alongside Trump during his first term, has long been a staunch advocate for anti-abortion policies and is using his platform to rally resistance to the nomination.
This development underscores the ongoing tensions within Republican circles, as differing views on key social issues, such as abortion, continue to shape internal party dynamics. Pence’s campaign aims to remind GOP senators of the importance of adhering to conservative principles when considering cabinet appointments.
