Sources say Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. John Fetterman are at least considering voting for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to be the next HHS secretary.

Their perceived openness comes despite a fervent backlash against Kennedy ’s nomination from many within the Democratic Party .

Kennedy 's controversial stances on vaccinations still could be a deciding factor for many.

Fetterman is “definitely a swing vote for all of Trump ’s nominees,” a pro-Kennedy source said.

Kennedy recently clarified he was “all for the polio vaccine” to reporters, an indication that the environmental lawyer is starting to soften his posture.

Even some Republicans have expressed concerns about his stances on specific vaccines.
