Public health policy has become one of the most contentious fronts of the Trump administration. From cuts to Medicaid to RFK Jr.'s promotion of dubious theories on the causes of autism, some physicians say they feel compelled to run for office. President Donald Trump is also possibly losing support among MAHA Moms who object to his promotion of elemental phosphorus and glyphosate for use in agriculture. The conversation comes amid a federal court ruling striking down parts of Kennedy’s vaccine policies. USA TODAY National Reporter Sarah D. Wire explains what it could mean for the midterms.
