This one is no surprise as it was one of the reasons Trump won since people trusted RFK Jr's positions on health.
They say he might struggle on confirmation but this one I doubt is more than bluster, going after him over vaccines is political suicide right now so he'll get quickly confirmed after a day of circus for media clips.
Never underestimate the determination of Collins and Murkowski to fuck over Trump out of spite. That brings us down to 51. Kid toucher Bill Cassidy is still shitting up the Senate as well. So we're down to Vance's tie breaking vote even applying the very low standard of not having a history brazenly trying to blow up Trump's first presidency.
I'm hoping that Trump can make use of recess appointments to get it done.
They'll "fuck over" Trump when it's safe, and only then. They care about "me, me, me" far more than they do about Trump. Also, Collins has to take at least some tough votes because she's from a lean-blue state. Nepotism Baby Murkowski's behavior is unacceptable.
That said, with ranked votes being apparently gone in Alaska, Murkowski's goose is probably cooked. So she might do as she say because she has no political future anyway.
They can tank RFK, the R margin is slim and the GOP are still part of the swamp.
I don't know if they REALLY want to risk it, thanks to the Dems and Biden, the executive has MORE power than when Trump was in office so he has more ways to fuck with them if they fuck with him.
Also hearing from my UK mates, they're running scare pieces on RFK Jr there as an 'antivax activists' lol.
