The White House has put Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the road ahead of November’s midterm elections.

Kennedy has been showing up in key battleground House districts in recent weeks, touting his Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) agenda to improve the nation’s food and promoting similar administration initiatives.

It’s a sign that far from being sidelined, the White House views Kennedy as an important asset in trying to help Republicans keep control of government.

“When President Trump pledged to Make America Healthy Again, he launched a nationwide movement and call to action for parents, educators, researchers, food companies, and local lawmakers,” White House spokesperson Kush Desai told The Hill in a statement.

“Secretary Kennedy has already delivered major progress on the MAHA agenda, from cracking down on artificial ingredients to overhauling the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and he will continue to tout these historic victories by HHS and the Trump administration for the American people,” he added.

Kennedy has crisscrossed the country this year, traveling between swing districts in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Colorado and Michigan, to name a few.

The appearances are largely part of Kennedy’s “Take Back Your Health” tour, where he has encouraged outdoor recreation, sang the praises of drinking whole milk, touted the administration’s initiatives toward keeping infant formula safe and spoken about ongoing efforts toward tackling addiction.
