Description

Emily analyses today’s Senate testimony of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., focusing on his exchange with Senator Ron Wyden about the significant decline in American public health metrics that has occurred over the last several decades. Emily explores why, in an era of low institutional trust, populist messaging that critiques a long-standing “status quo of decline” resonates so strongly with voters.
