Joel White spoke with Politico about the Secretary of Health and Human Services’, Robert Kennedy, Jr., MAHA policies and their popularity with voters and Republicans’ concerns.
Most of Kennedy’s MAHA goals are widely popular, said Joel White, a former Republican health care aide at the Ways and Means Committee who’s now a partner at Monument Advocacy, a lobbying firm.
“Food, screentime, environment — most voters respond more positively on those issues,” White said. “Vaccines are the toughest part of the MAHA agenda.”
White added that several Republican members he spoke with were concerned about how Kennedy might affect their midterm chances.
There’s been a vibe shift, White said, after Kennedy sparred with his skeptics on the Finance Committee.
