Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set to face a Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday as he pursues the role of Health and Human Services secretary under President Donald Trump. New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been a vocal supporter of Kennedy, going as far as to suggest he be his running mate in the 2024 presidential election. Rodgers has also expressed his backing for Kennedy’s initiative to “Make America Healthy Again,” particularly following the Food and Drug Administration’s recent ban on red food dye due to potential cancer risk.
Rodgers has been a strong advocate for Kennedy, saying that senators will need to be ready to face him if they plan to question him. He praised Kennedy’s intelligence, stating that he can “absolutely mop the floor with any of these senators.” Rodgers’ endorsement of Kennedy has been unwavering, despite the possibility of Kennedy’s critics labeling him.
Rodgers credited Kennedy’s efforts to ensure the safety of the products being used in everyday life, including food and daily necessities. He believes that Kennedy’s “Make America Healthy Again” initiative is crucial in protecting Americans’ health. As Kennedy prepares for his confirmation hearing, Rodgers’ support is expected to continue, with the quarterback stating that he will be watching the proceedings closely.
