Kamala Harris had a terse reply to Trump’s plan: ā€œNo.ā€

Donald Trump said Thursday that vaccine conspiracy theorist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be in charge of ā€œwomen’s healthā€ if the former president is reelected to the White House.

…

The comments reflect Kennedy’s growing role in a potential administration and his rising standing in the Trump orbit after he dropped his independent bid for the presidency andĀ endorsedĀ his onetime competitor. But calls for a senior position haveĀ troubled health advocates, who point to Kennedy’s long history as a skeptic of widely accepted science surrounding vaccines. Those concerns grew this week after the co-chair of the team planning Trump’s potential transition said Kennedy had persuaded him in a 2.5-hour meeting that vaccines caused autism,Ā a widely debunked stance.

The Harris campaign was quick to share footage of Trump’s plans for Kennedy on Thursday, and Harris herself tweeted a short response to her opponent’s pledge: ā€œNo.ā€
