No surprise Susan Collins will back R. F. Kennedy Jr's nomination as head of the Department of Health and Human Services

She's been bought again.

Collins – famously a swing vote – had previously declined to say how she would vote on Kennedy’s nomination. However, after speaking with Kennedy about her “strong opposition” to “arbitrary” cuts to parts of the National Institutes of Health budget earlier today, Collins said Kennedy had promised to “re-examine” the cuts.

Her statement suggests that the former presidential candidate, who has no training in public health, may clear his confirmation vote before the Senate.
