唐纳德·特朗普总统与卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪之间的合作关系，帮助他赢得了那些支持“让美国再次健康”（Make America Healthy Again）运动的支持者。然而，特朗普多年来苦心打造的这一运动如今正出现分裂的迹象。现在的问题是：如果肯尼迪再次参选总统，他是否还能重新凝聚这些支持者？
President Donald Trump’s alliance with health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. helped deliver Make America Healthy Again voters. But the movement Trump spent years cultivating is showing signs of splintering. Now the question is whether Kennedy could reconsolidate the same voters if he launches a new bid for the presidency.
在农药政策方面，特朗普政府遭遇了失败；在将食品安全相关措施纳入长期有效的法规方面也未能取得进展；在试图改革联邦疫苗政策时，他也遇到了法律障碍。
He’s lost battles over pesticides, failed to codify food safety efforts into durable regulations, and faced legal hurdles in his bid to reshape federal vaccine policy.
“本届政府多次损害了‘让美国再次健康’运动的利益，”一位曾参与该运动相关工作的前卫生与公众服务部（HHS）官员告诉我，“该运动的参与者们已经开始重新独立思考自己的立场，他们不再仅仅根据政党来投票，而是会选择那些最能维护他们利益的人。”今天，肯尼迪的得力助手卡莉·米恩斯（Cally Means）的离职，使得这些运动的支持者在特朗普政府内部失去了最有力的代言人。
“This administration has screwed over MAHA numerous times,” a former HHS official who worked on MAHA issues told me. “MAHA folks have started to become independent again, if you will, and they will no longer vote by party, but by whoever they think will advocate the most for them.”The departure of top Kennedy confidant Calley Means today leaves MAHA advocates without arguably their most vocal champion within the Trump administration.
米恩斯在一条短信中称华盛顿的官僚体系“腐败至极，正竭尽全力维护现状”，这条消息最初由《华尔街日报》报道。
Means described Washington as a “corrupt DC bureaucracy that is doing everything possible to protect the status quo” in a text message confirming the news first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
当特朗普政府推出一项对农业有害的除草剂使用规定时，那些活跃的环保人士表示强烈反对；另一些人则认为肯尼迪在推动食品染料相关法规的制定方面做得不够充分，因此这些限制措施很可能会在特朗普离任后依然存在。
Vocal MAHA activists cried foul when the Trump administration advanced a directive on an herbicide that they said was too industry-friendly. Others say Kennedy hasn’t done enough to codify his work on food dyes so the restrictions will live on after Trump leaves office.
虽然卫生与公众服务部的一位发言人强调了政府在“让美国再次健康”运动方面取得的“历史性胜利”，但实际上，美国的卫生政策又重新陷入了不确定的状态。据说客TJ·佩特里佐（TJ Petrizzo）指出，“让美国再次健康”运动与“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）运动之间存在密切联系。
An HHS spokesperson touted the administration’s “historic MAHA wins,” but for practical purposes, health policy is back up for grabs. Per lobbyist TJ Petrizzo: MAHA is intertwined with MAGA.
与此同时，自由派急于争取同样的选民——即使他们不愿迎合反疫苗人群。包括纽约州众议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（民主党-纽约州）和密歇根州参议院候选人阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德在内的民主党人，正针对对企业对食品和农药影响感到担忧的选民。副总统JD·范斯（以喜爱肯尼迪酸菜饮食而闻名）将在出席MAHA峰会等活动后，向该选民群体发起自己的争夺。
Meanwhile, liberals are keen to win over the same voters — even if they are unwilling to court the anti-vaccine crowd. Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed, are going after voters concerned about corporate influence over food and pesticides. Vice President JD Vance (a noted fan of Kennedy’s sauerkraut diet) will make his own bid for the voting bloc after appearing at events like the MAHA Summit.
肯尼迪正奔波于德克萨斯州、新罕布什尔州和佛罗里达州，宣传特朗普政府在慢性肾病、农村卫生和营养方面的工作。这些是中期选举的安全议题，却远非肯尼迪在华盛顿承诺推进的MAHA议程。
Kennedy is bouncing around Texas, New Hampshire, and Florida to tout the Trump administration’s work on chronic kidney disease, rural health efforts, and nutrition. Those are safe talking points for the midterms, but hardly the MAHA agenda Kennedy promised to deliver in Washington.
