Colorado Gov. Jared Polis celebrated President-elect Trump's decision to name Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as the next secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Why it matters: The vocal support from a Democratic governor is surprising given Polis announced the creation of a national organization designed to push back on actions from the Trump administration a day earlier.
Yes, but: Polis and Kennedy align on the issue of vaccines. Both oppose mandates on school vaccines and worked together to block a proposed requirement in Colorado in 2019.
What he's saying: Kennedy "will help make America healthy again by shaking up HHS and FDA," Polis said in a Thursday statement on X. "What I'm most optimistic about is taking on Big Pharma and the corporate ag oligopoly to improve our health."
