"Just imagine if RFK Jr. had been in office during Trump's first term," Bloomberg said at the Bloomberg American Health Summit in Washington D.C."Would Operation Warp Speed have even happened?
RFK Jr. initially ran for president in 2024 as a Democrat, but switched to an independent bid and later dropped out to endorse Trump.
Bloomberg in Tuesday's speech appealed directly to U.S. senators not to confirm RFK Jr. to the Cabinet role in the next Trump administration.
Bloomberg expressed hope that Senate Republicans will convince Trump to reconsider nominating RFK Jr. before they are asked to weigh in.
But RFK Jr. has taken a similar tack, endorsing a plan that he says is intended to "Make America Healthy Again" alongside Republicans.
