Live updates: RFK Jr. back in hot seat; Trump to court young voters as GOP midterm fears grow

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Friday will testify once again before a House panel on the Trump administration’s health care agenda.

It comes a day after he was grilled by lawmakers over vaccine changes and his “Make America Healthy Again” initiative.

President Trump on Friday is set to speak at a Turning Point USA event in Arizona as he works to sway young voters who, recent polling suggests, could be souring on his policies ahead of the upcoming midterm elections.

A day earlier, Trump touted his tax agenda — specifically the “no tax on tips” law he championed — during a roundtable event in Las Vegas. But his travels west come during a fraught week for the president, as he navigates backlash to a series of AI social media posts invoking Jesus Christ while his administration seeks to drive home preferred messages on the Iran war and the economy.

The Supreme Court is also expected to release opinions Friday morning. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas earlier this week lamented a breakdown in civility among younger generations with ideological differences, worrying that it will “infect” the judiciary.
