At his horrific Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday, Donald Trump said he would let Robert F. Kennedy Jr. “go wild” on health and food issues. Kennedy has spent the last few months since dropping out of the presidential contest promoting Donald Trump at his rallies and on social media.

The former independent presidential nominee has raised important questions about the troubling increase of chronic disease in America and the dangers of corporate capture at our food and drug regulatory agencies. Why don’t we get dangerous pesticides off our crops? Why can’t we tackle the chronic disease crisis by making it easier for people to eat fresh, nutritious, local food? Why are Americans allowed to eat cancer-causing food additives banned in other countries?

Unfortunately, Kennedy’s answer to these very real questions—to make America healthy again by reelecting Donald Trump—is shockingly misguided and absurd, given the former president’s record on these issues:

Current Issue

November 2024 Issue

• Former President Trump weakened Clean Water Act protections, dismantled air pollution standards, and stalled or reversed bans on toxic chemicals like chlorpyrifos and perchlorate—both linked to serious health risks, including developmental issues in children.

• He appointed corporate insiders and lobbyists to oversee our environmental and chemical laws, undermining our watchdog agencies by turning them into extensions of the industries they were meant to regulate.

• He picked a Big Pharma executive to run the FDA, a coal insider to oversee the EPA, and an oil lobbyist to oversee conserving our natural resources.

• Trump’s appointees pressured regulators to cover up evidence of the dangers posed by toxic chemicals, according to new allegations by whistleblowers.

• The Trump administration consistently favored Big Agriculture, and hurt small farmers by undermining rural development and prioritizing massive industrial farms that could care less about toxic pesticides in our food.

In Congress, my colleagues and I have fought to improve nutrition and tackle the chronic disease crisis, only to face constant resistance from Trump and his allies.

When the Democrats added a fruit and vegetable benefit to the Women, Infants, and Children program that helps pregnant women and their young kids stay healthy, Republicans wanted to repeal it. When the Democrats sought to expand the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, which helps feed hungry people and improves health outcomes for participants, Republicans wanted to cut the program by nearly $30 billion. When the Democrats supported universal free school meals in every cafeteria across the country, Republicans wanted to ban free meals and roll back nutrition standards, making our kid’s school food less healthy. And when the Democrats expanded the Child Tax Credit, ensuring that parents could put food on the table for their kids, Republicans let those extra benefits expire, worsening the child hunger crisis.

Contrary to Kennedy’s revisionist history, Republican policies have made it harder to buy healthy, local, nutritious food—and easier for Trump’s corporate cronies to pollute our air, poison our water, and ignore the toxic chemicals in our food.

We cannot afford to go back to the failed policies of the past. If we want a healthier future, we need to look beyond the rhetoric and examine the results.

Vice President Kamala Harris convened the second-ever White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, and is implementing a new national strategy for “ending hunger and increasing healthy eating and physical activity so fewer Americans experience diet-related diseases.” Thanks to her, for the first time ever, we have a holistic plan to promote healthy food and address chronic disease in this country.

Her leadership helped reverse Trump’s decision to allow the spraying of toxic chemicals like chlorpyrifos on fruits and vegetables, and her administration issued new national standards on toxic “forever chemicals” called PFAS to improve the safety of drinking water for millions of people.

She worked to ensure children have access to nutritious meals over the summer when school is out. And she supported a bill I wrote, and President Biden signed into law, the Food Donation Improvement Act, which makes it easier to donate nutritious food to needy families.

We can and must do more—but the truth is that only one candidate has a track record of results when it comes to these issues, and it’s Vice President Kamala Harris.

Kennedy is right: We have a chronic disease crisis in this country. But even a broken clock is right twice a day. Perhaps his bizarre belief that tap water turns kids gay may have been our first clue that he shouldn’t be trusted when it comes to public health.

America deserves a leader who takes hunger, nutrition, and health seriously. Someone who works to address the underlying issues that contribute to chronic disease. Someone who doesn’t just complain about things, but who advances real solutions.

Someone like Vice President Kamala Harris, who has already proven during her time in office that she will tackle these problems and fight for increased access to healthy, nutritious food for all.

The choice is clear. Donald Trump had his chance to make America healthy again, and he failed. A Harris administration would deliver the bold action we need—delivering a stronger, safer, healthier future for all Americans.
