Republican Donald Trump won the presidency, promising to shake up public health institutions and cut costs. He mentioned campaign lieutenant Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his victory speech to work on health, medicine, and food policy. Both Trump and Democratic opponent Kamala Harris pledged to strengthen Medicare and reduce health care costs, but diverged on details. Health care was not the top priority for voters compared to the economy and immigration. Trump plans to reform public health agencies, focus on chronic disease prevention, and limit vaccine recommendations. He aims to reshape health insurance, prohibit federal funding for gender-affirming care, and protect access to in vitro fertilization.
