Fox News: RFK Jr. to face key committee vote that could determine confirmation fate
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is set for a crucial vote by the Senate Finance Committee regarding his nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. He requires a majority to advance, needing support from all Republicans, as no Democrats have indicated they will back him.
