WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's nominee for U.S. Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has secured enough votes from U.S. senators to be confirmed as the nation's top health official.
Kennedy will lead the Department of Health and Human Services, which oversees several high-profile agencies including the Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
