A second term for Donald Trump could bring significant changes to U.S. health care policies, including the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and reproductive rights.

Kennedy Jr. is expected to influence public health policies, advocating for the removal of fluoride from water and increased vaccine safety research. Trump's stance on abortion remains ambiguous, with no clear support for a federal ban.

"RFK Jr. Secures Spot on Michigan Presidential Ballot Amid Anti-Vaccine Movement"

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., son of Robert F. Kennedy, has qualified for Michigan's presidential ballot as a third-party candidate after being nominated by the Natural Law Party. His running mate is Nicole Shanahan, and this marks the eighth state where he has secured ballot access. Despite being part of a notable political family, Kennedy has made a name for himself as an environmental attorney and writer, although he has also espoused anti-vaccine rhetoric. His campaign event in Royal Oak is scheduled to celebrate this achievement, while the Biden campaign has announced endorsements from several members of the Kennedy family to dissuade potential Democratic voters from selecting Kennedy.

"Sam Bankman-Fried Escapes Second Trial as Prosecutors Decline Further Charges"

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a pro-Bitcoin presidential candidate, has suggested that corruption may be the underlying reason for the US government dropping six charges against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. Kennedy believes that the system's corruption is a more significant issue than the alleged fraud by SBF. Despite the dropped charges, Bankman-Fried's sentencing is still set for March 28, 2024, with legal experts predicting a potential prison term of over 20 years. However, Kennedy's comments raise the possibility of a lighter sentence, although Judge Lewis Kaplan has so far shown an unbiased stance in pre-trial rulings.
