RFK Jr. has championed issues like healthy foods and the need for greater transparency in our public health infrastructure.”

Bill Cassidy, R-La., currently the ranking member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, said

I look forward to learning more about his other policy positions and how they will support a conservative, pro-American agenda.”

He continued

The difference here is with unified government, Donald Trump is setting the agenda,

he said

It's a great problem to have,

Johnson told Fox News on Thursday

Every single vote will count because if someone gets ill or has a car accident or a late flight on their plane, then it affects the votes on the floor,

Johnson said at a news conference on Tuesday

But I've told President Trump, enough already, give me some relief. I have to maintain this majority. And he understands that, of course, we've been talking about it almost hourly every day,

he said, adding

This Republican team is united. We are on one team,

Thune said

This Republican team is united behind President Trump's agenda, and our work starts today,
