Robert Kennedy Jr’s second hearing as Health and Human Services Secretary nominee is scheduled for 10:00amET.
The 71-year-old faces another grueling day of questioning from a more health-minded crowd, with Republican chair Bill Cassidy – a physician who caught Kennedy confusing basic facts about Medicare and Medicaid in Wednesday’s session – likely to press further on his grasp of America’s healthcare system.
After a rough first hearing, bellwether Senator Susan Collins said it’s “premature” for her to say how she will vote.
John Fetterman, who had said he was open to voting to confirm Kennedy, said after the bruising hearing that he thinks Kennedy’s nomination may be “moot.”
