Despite millions of dollars spent by groups opposed to his nomination, the senate voted to install Robert F. Kennedy Jr. at the helm of the Department of Health and Human Services.

Kennedy faced opposition from the left for his decades of espousing conspiracy theories on vaccines and from the right for his past support of abortion rights. For several weeks, it was uncertain whether he had enough senators backing him to get through.

Yesterday, Democratic senators made speeches on the floor past midnight in protest. But on Thursday morning, he had the votes to be confirmed. The vote was 52 to 48. Sen. Mitch McConnell, the former Republican majority leader and a polio survivor, joined Democrats to vote against Kennedy.
