President-elect Donald Trump is expected to nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be secretary of Health and Human Services, a source familiar with the decision confirmed to The Post.
Kennedy, 70, has been a staunch supporter of Trump since suspending his independent presidential bid in August.
Trump has championed him on his health background and has said he would let him “go wild” should he win the Nov. 5 election.
The decision, first reported by Politico, is the latest cabinet spot chosen by Trump.
The Post previously reported that Kennedy — who is an honorary chair on the transition team — was gunning for the HHS spot but was also facing allies pushing him towards an advisory role.
Neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson was also aiming for the spot, sources had told The Post.
