Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-Nev.) has publicly called for the resignation of RFK Jr. following his testimony during recent hearings on public health and government oversight. In an interview with ABC News, she expressed deep concern over statements made by RFK Jr. that she described as undermining scientific consensus and public trust in federal institutions. Her remarks emphasized the importance of accountability and transparency, particularly when individuals in influential positions make claims that contradict established facts.
The conversation also turned to former President Trump’s nomination for a key role at the Federal Reserve. Senator Cortez-Masto voiced alarm over the nominee’s refusal to confirm Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 election, highlighting the potential threat such hesitancy poses to democratic norms. She stressed that leadership in critical national institutions must uphold the integrity of electoral outcomes and institutional independence, warning that failure to do so risks eroding public confidence in American governance.
