Kennedy Jr. and his mission to "Make America Healthy Again."53% : Weldon was sure to face tough questions about his previous support for anti-vaccine theories during his confirmation hearing.
48% : "I don't know how members of Congress would have voted, but I believe it would have been very difficult for the Republican members of Congress - who, in my mind, held their breath and voted for Kennedy - to do it again," Benjamin says.
