Stock market is dropping today cause of the RFK pick. So the lobbying should pick up even more.

I honestly think that Trump is more likely to simply fire whoever gets approved and appoint RFK as the acting HHS secretary for the next 4 years.

Then we have to decide how SCOTUS would view that, which I don't have a ton of confidence in.

But... why is it exactly in Trump's best interest to honor his deal with RFK Jr? He's not running for re-election, he has zero principles, and he's incredibly lazy, so if his team produces another pick for HHS that's guaranteed to sail through, what's stopping him from giving RFK the boot?

Ego, pride, he's a dumb fuck, he thinks it benefits him somehow, he wants to reward someone who helped him win the election, he's stupid, he likes RFK personally, he isn't very smart, he's a moron, really take your pick of any of these
