Advancing American Freedom, launched by Mike Pence, revealed extensive advertising efforts Wednesday targeting Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Donald Trump.
Mobile billboards will circulate Washington D.C., focusing on areas near Capitol Hill and the National Mall during Friday’s March for Life rally. Digital advertisements highlighting Kennedy’s previous statements about vaccines and abortion access will run concurrent campaigns.
Kennedy’s Senate support remains notable despite opposition movements. During December discussions, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) reported constructive dialogue regarding pharmaceutical industry oversight and reproductive health policies.
Healthcare professionals across America registered concerns about Kennedy’s potential influence on public health practices. Thousands signed formal letters expressing reservations about his previous statements regarding vaccine safety.
The nominee conducted extensive meetings with lawmakers while awaiting confirmation scheduling. Kennedy addressed prior Democratic positions, committing to maintain Trump administration policies regarding reproductive health services.
Republican senators maintain unified public positions supporting consideration of Kennedy’s nomination. With full Democratic opposition, Kennedy could secure confirmation losing up to three GOP votes.
Pence’s organization distributed correspondence to senators last week requesting votes against confirmation based on Kennedy’s earlier positions regarding abortion access.
