RFK Jr has NFL star Aaron Rodgers' full support ahead of confirmation hearing

Fox News medical contributor Dr. Nicole Saphier joins 'Fox & Friends' to discuss RFK Jr.'s HHS confirmation hearing beginning.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will face a Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday on Capitol Hill as he looks to take over as President Donald Trump’s Health and Human Services secretary.

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been one of the loudest and proudest supporters of Kennedy, as he has been entangled in the political process, starting with the initial bid for president. Kennedy broached Rodgers to be his running mate during the 2024 presidential election – a moment that was captured on the Netflix docuseries "Enigma."

"Retire and go into politics or play two or three more years," he said. "I definitely envisioned a life without football, and it wasn’t scary. I felt comfort in being able to move on at some point. But I love football. I want to keep playing. And I hated the way last year went. There’s still some unfinished business in New Jersey."

Still, Rodgers was strong in his support of Kennedy.

He said on "The Pat McAfee Show" earlier this month that senators who were going to question Kennedy had better be ready.

"Like, please, somebody try and get after him and just watch him absolutely mop the floor with any of these senators," Rodgers said. "You better come ready senators, come ready and try and see if you can pull one over on my boy, Bobby, because Bobby’s f------ smart, dude. And no notes, off the cuff, can handle his own pretty well, so excited for him to – and honestly so should everybody."
