Senate Republicans who are undecided about casting ballots for two of President Donald Trump’s most contentious Cabinet nominees, Kennedy for secretary of health and individual companies, and Gabbard for director of national intelligence, were warned by Vance in an X article on Wednesday.
Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. each represent a different section of the new partnership within our group. Saying they’re unpleasant in the cupboard is to attack those innovative voters. Rejecting their assurance is to reject the notion that President Trump chooses his case, he said.
Vance has sung Kennedy’s and Gabbard’s compliments earlier.
” My mother had a lifetime of love for two officials. FDR and RFK. I wish I could observe her emotion to RFK’s boy and namesake–and let’s be honest, the most true to his brother’s legacy–endorsing the person’s president, Donald J. Trump. Historic”, he said in an August X blog, speaking after Kennedy endorsed Trump.

Kennedy’s assurance hearing was held on Wednesday, while Gabbard’s may be held on Thursday.
Trump’s various most questionable find, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, was approved last week in a 51-50 voting, requiring Vance to break the link.
Gabbard has received criticism for her 2017 conference with previous Syrian President Bashar Assad, her assertion that Washington is at least partially to blame for the Russian-Ukraine battle, and skepticism regarding some results from the knowledge society.
Kennedy’s skepticism about some vaccines has largely been the focus of condemnation toward him. Much criticism has come from his own home, his niece, Caroline Kennedy, sent a letter to the Senate on Tuesday, accusing him of animal abuse, leading other family members to drug addiction, lying, duplicity, and more.

Gabbard and Kennedy Jr. are two of Trump’s most special Cabinet picks, both being past Democrats. Gambard ran for president in 2020 on a system that criticized its creation, but he eventually chose Joe Biden over the president. She eventually joined the Republican Party and campaigned for Trump during his 2024 promotion as a result of her growing dissatisfaction with Biden’s term.
Kennedy Jr. previously ran as a Democrat in 2024 before switching to an indie. Over the summer, he left and backed Trump.
