What recent development has occurred in RFK Jr.'s nomination to become Health Secretary?

RFK Jr. has taken a significant step toward becoming the next Health Secretary as the Senate Finance Committee voted 13-14 along party lines to advance his nomination for a full floor vote. This advancement was not initially guaranteed, especially following his controversial high-profile hearings last week. The committee vote is particularly noteworthy due to its partisan nature and tight margin, with the panel composed of 13 Democrats and 14 Republicans. This pivotal committee approval moves his nomination forward despite earlier uncertainty, marking a major milestone in his confirmation process.
