Abdul El-Sayed Slams RFK Jr. as 'Most Incompetent HHS Secretary Ever,' Vows to 'Grill' Him

Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed is sharpening his attacks on Robert F. Kennedy Jr., calling the Health and Human Services secretary the 'most incompetent' in history and promising to 'grill' him if elected. El-Sayed, a physician and former Detroit health director, is leveraging his public health expertise to challenge Kennedy's leadership amid controversies over vaccine policy and agency management. Supporters see El-Sayed's background as a key contrast, especially as he campaigns on progressive issues and a critical stance on Israel. The race is drawing national attention as El-Sayed positions himself as a vocal opponent of the Trump administration's health agenda. With Kennedy facing scrutiny over his handling of measles outbreaks and cuts to public health programs, El-Sayed's pledge to hold him accountable could resonate with voters concerned about federal health policy. The outcome may hinge on whether El-Sayed can translate his policy credentials into broad electoral support.
