Gov. Jared Polis (D-CO) broke with the Democratic Party to endorse President-elect Donald Trump’s move to nominate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to head the Department of Health and Human Services. 

Trump tapped Kennedy to helm the federal health agency on Thursday, invoking instant condemnation from top Democrats who have characterized the long-time environmental lawyer as anti-vaccine and a “fringe conspiracy theorist.” Polis was not one of them, posting a series of praises explaining his support for Kennedy.
