Beshear Urges Trump to Remove RFK Jr. as Health Secretary
Beshear said 211 measles cases and 14 hospitalizations show Kennedy is failing to protect public health.
- Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear sent a letter to President Donald Trump on Thursday, urging him to immediately remove Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over public health concerns.
- Beshear cited a resurgence in vaccine-preventable diseases, accusing Kennedy of spreading misinformation that negatively impacted national public health as Kentucky reached 211 measles cases this year.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more than 5,100 measles cases nationwide this year, while multi-state Cyclospora outbreaks infected more than 20,000 people from May through August.
- Beshear expressed frustration over a failed procedural vote on Tuesday that blocked an impeachment effort against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, stating he would support similar legislative action against Kennedy.
- Separately, Senators Ron Wyden and Angela Alsobrooks are investigating whether Kennedy misled Congress about a 2019 Samoa trip, while the White House defended his record citing vaccination encouragement efforts.
