Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has an uncertain path ahead of him as he looks to get confirmed as the Trump administration’s health secretary next year — even after a barrage of meetings with senators this week.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska declined to share where she stood on Kennedy’s nomination on Friday. But she told NOTUS that they had a “good discussion about a lot of different issues, including vaccines.”
