GOP senators want public commitments from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. before deciding whether to support him as the next secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services .

Anti-abortion rights senator: Kennedy needs to do more to assuage her concerns given his past comments supporting abortion access until fetal viability.

Kennedy has tried to tamp down concerns about his history of vaccine skepticism, including whether he supports the polio vaccine.

Thune: “There’s a path, but I reserve judgment until after they go through the hearing process. My job is to make sure they get that process. But, yeah, I think there's a way for him to get there.” Still, Republican senators are aware there is little room for error once a nominee reaches the Senate floor.
