A caucus aimed at improving the health of America was launched by Senator Marshall following a meeting with RFK Jr.

Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., is introducing a new Senate caucus on Thursday called the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) caucus, which aims to support the joint mission of President-elect Donald Trump and his HHS nominee, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

As a medical doctor with over 25 years of experience, Marshall will lead the caucus in promoting healthy food, addressing chronic diseases, encouraging safer agriculture, and expanding healthcare access.

"The MAHA caucus is dedicated to enhancing health outcomes by prioritizing nutrition, ensuring access to affordable, nutrient-dense foods, and emphasizing primary care availability to address the root causes of chronic diseases. Through our "Food is Medicine" approach, with the support of RFK Jr., we aim to promote transparency, innovation, and a transformative agenda that strengthens the nation's health and well-being."

The new caucus is welcoming founding members Sens. Tommy Tuberville, Cynthia Lummis, and Rick Scott.

The MAHA caucus will collaborate with Kennedy in the new Congress to pass legislation that swiftly executes Trump and Kennedy's plan, as per the senator's office.

The caucus aims to establish partnerships with stakeholders at the local, state, and federal levels to support key MAHA initiatives, gather support for its priorities, and launch educational campaigns to promote nutritional awareness.

Kennedy, who earlier this year suspended his independent presidential campaign and endorsed Trump, announced that they would work together to "make America healthy again." After his election last month, Trump revealed his choice to nominate Kennedy to lead HHS and pursue that goal.

Kennedy met with senators such as Marshall, Tuberville, and Scott to gather support for his confirmation during the caucus' creation.

Some Republicans in the Senate have raised concerns about Trump's nominees' stance on vaccines, agriculture, and abortion, despite many of them expressing support for his picks, including Kennedy.

Although he has not yet met with all GOP lawmakers, he has already addressed the concerns of some of those he has met with, such as Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., who stated that Kennedy pledged to restore certain pro-life policies at HHS.

Before meeting with Kennedy, Tuberville stated that he intended to discuss food production and agricultural policy. After their conversation, Tuberville revealed that Kennedy shared Trump's stance on safeguarding farmers and avoiding excessive regulation of their livelihoods.

Kennedy will need to address concerns about his past comments on vaccine efficacy and how they will factor into his leadership at HHS, as he is expected to conduct more meetings with senators on both sides of the aisle.

The former independent presidential candidate, who has long been a prominent vaccine skeptic, stated that he wouldn't do anything to take vaccines away from people.
