Trump-aligned group putting pressure on Republican senators in push to confirm RFK Jr.

A newly formed outside group aligned with President Donald Trump says it’s taking aim at Republican senators who remain undecided on Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as it pushes to confirm Trump’s Health and Human Services secretary.

Patient First Coalition (PFC), a nonprofit advocacy group launched last week, says it’s now beginning what it describes as a ‘massive grassroots effort’ to encourage Republican senators to support Kennedy, the vaccine skeptic and environmental crusader who ran for the White House in 2024 before ending his bid and endorsing Trump.

Kennedy survived back-to-back combustible Senate confirmation hearings last week, where Trump’s nominee to lead 18 powerful federal agencies that oversee the nation’s food and health faced plenty of verbal fireworks over past controversial comments, including his repeated claims in recent years linking vaccines to autism, which have been debunked by scientific research.

The move by PFC, which says it’s a collective group of organizations committed to advancing Kennedy’s so-called ‘Make America Healthy Again’ agenda, comes ahead of Tuesday’s key confirmation vote by the Senate Finance Committee.

‘All uncommitted Republican Senators will be targeted in this grassroots effort,’ PFC highlighted.

Shannon Burns, the group’s senior advisor, shared that ‘our grassroots phase will include television, radio and podcast interviews with our advisory board members, as well as guest columns in newspapers across the country.’

‘We will enable thousands of calls and emails into Senate offices from millions of Americans who support this agenda. We want to organize them, mobilize them, and make sure their voices are heard before the Senate votes,’ Burns added.

PFC pointed out that it will initially give ‘special focus’ to GOP senators in Louisiana, Maine, Alaska, Kentucky and North Carolina.

Those states are home to Sen. Bill Cassidy, the Louisiana physician and chair of the Senate Health Committee, Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who are often at odds with Trump, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the former longtime Senate Republican leader, and Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina.

‘Your past of undermining confidence in vaccines with unfounded or misleading arguments concerns me,’ Cassidy told Kennedy at the end of Thursday’s confirmation hearing.

PFC is one of a handful of outside groups targeting GOP senators in the fight to confirm Trump’s nominees.

A source in Trump’s political orbit tells Fox News that those groups could ‘exact consequences’ on Republican senators who don’t support the president’s Cabinet nominees.

And Trump on Sunday took to social media to demand that Senate Republicans ‘GET TOUGH VERY FAST’ in confirming the rest of his Cabinet.
