White House Scrambles to Contain RFK Jr.'s MAHA Drive

White House aides are scrambling to manage Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda, with White House interference at the Health and Human Services Department as Kennedy loyalists are replaced and officials warn his vaccine-focused priorities could hurt Republican prospects in 2026. Kennedy remains in Trump’s good graces, but internal friction over MAHA—ranging from vaccines to glyphosate—has pressured administration officials, while Trump touts MAHA “wins” and did not address key priorities in the State of the Union.
