Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) announced Thursday she would be introducing articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. due to “health care chaos” under his watch.
On the social media platform X, Stevens wrote, “Health care chaos. Reckless cuts. Rising costs. Michiganders and families across the country are paying the price for RFK Jr.’s agenda. Enough is enough, which is why I’m drafting articles of impeachment against @SecKennedy.”
Stevens has repeatedly called for Kennedy’s removal from his role since he became health secretary.
She called for Kennedy to resign earlier this month, citing the slashing of medical research for pediatric cancer and vaccines.
“Michiganders are tired of politicians who chase attention and ignore real problems. I’ve seen enough chaos from this administration and from Secretary Kennedy,” Steven said in a statement on Sept. 15.
“He’s making Michiganders unhealthy and unsafe. He needs to resign now. It’s time for leaders who fight for science, for health, and for the people, not those who undermine the progress our families and researchers work so hard to achieve.”
This move to impeach Kennedy comes amid federal health policies and recommendations which major medical organizations have spoken out against, including recommendations to alter childhood vaccination schedules and President Trump telling pregnant women not to take Tylenol.
Republican senators are growing increasingly uncomfortable with health actions being taken by the Trump administration, with one lawmaker telling The Hill this week that Republicans are “starting to break ranks” over it.
