Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Aug. 15 said he will not be running for president in 2028 and that he is loyal to President Donald Trump.

“[Lobbyists are trying] to drive a wedge between President Trump and me, hoping to thwart our team from dismantling the status quo and advancing POTUS' Make America Healthy Again agenda,” Kennedy said on X.
