Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Health and Human Services Department, has nearly two dozen meetings scheduled on Capitol Hill, POLITICO has learned.
One of the Hill stops includes a meeting with the incoming leader of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, which could hold a confirmation hearing.
Katie Miller, Kennedy’s media contact during the transition, said he has at least 20 meetings scheduled. But she declined to discuss more details.

The pick, which has roiled many public health experts, comes after Trump promised to let Kennedy “go wild” with health and food policy in his administration after Kennedy dropped his own presidential bid to endorse the now-president-elect.
