## Key points

- Kennedy says he plans to stay in his post.
- Democrats are divided between removal and cooperation.
- Food and environmental policy may offer common ground.

## Summary

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he will continue leading the Make America Healthy Again movement despite electoral setbacks for candidates it backed. With Democrats gaining congressional majorities, the party faces a choice: seek to remove or investigate him over his vaccine policies, or cooperate on food and environmental issues where their priorities overlap.

Some Democrats, including Senator-elect Annie Andrews, have called for impeachment, while Senator Angela Alsobrooks has demanded Kennedy resign or be fired. Others, such as Representative Chellie Pingree and Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed, see common ground on healthier food and environmental policy as a chance to attract MAHA voters. Kennedy’s spokeswoman says he is open to working with Congress; activists have also criticised the Trump administration for stalling action on ultraprocessed foods and backing increased glyphosate production.
