With a 53–54 seat Republican majority in the U.S. Senate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be able to secure confirmation to a major cabinet-level position in the incoming Trump administration.
I think that'd be really good for for Bobby Kennedy. I think it might be harder to get Bobby Kennedy confirmed for a major cabinet post with 51, with 5354. I think we get there.View on YouTube
Explanation
The prediction was that with a 53–54 seat Republican majority in the U.S. Senate, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. would be able to secure confirmation to a major cabinet-level position in the incoming Trump administration.
Relevant facts:
- Republicans ended up with a 53-seat majority in the Senate for the 119th Congress. After the 2024 U.S. Senate elections, Republicans held 53 seats (Democrats 45, Independents 2), giving them a 53–47 majority. (en.wikipedia.org)
- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. holds a major cabinet-level post in the Trump administration. He has served as the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services under President Donald Trump since February 13, 2025. This is a cabinet-level position. (en.wikipedia.org)
- He was confirmed by the U.S. Senate in that role. Multiple reports and his biography describe that the Senate confirmed him as HHS Secretary on February 13, 2025, following a full Senate vote. (en.wikipedia.org)
Putting this together:
- The condition described (a 53–54 seat Republican majority) did occur (Republicans have 53 seats).
- Under that majority, RFK Jr. was confirmed to a major cabinet-level position (Secretary of Health and Human Services) in the Trump administration.
Therefore, the prediction that such a majority would allow RFK Jr. to secure confirmation to a major cabinet post in the Trump administration came true.
