米勒曾任职于白宫委员会,该委员会去年制定了旨在改善儿童健康的“让美国再次健康”战略。Miller served on the White House commission that last year laid out a MAHA strategy for improving children's health.

F·肯尼迪 Jr. 及其“让美国再次健康”运动的支持者,正在为白宫设定极高的期望,因为斯蒂芬·米勒现在主导了那里的事务。

F. Kennedy Jr. and his Make America Healthy Again devotees are setting sky-high expectations for the White House now that Stephen Miller is running the show there.

自从唐纳德·特朗普总统任命米勒接替苏西·怀尔斯担任他的幕僚长以来,肯尼迪及其支持者一直将米勒视为坚定的盟友。

Since President Donald Trump named Miller to replace Susie Wiles as his chief of staff, Kennedy and his supporters have celebrated Miller as a steadfast ally.

“除我之外,斯蒂芬·米勒是政府中最坚定的‘让美国再次健康’支持者,”肯尼迪周五在社交媒体平台 X 上写道。“是时候释放克拉肯了。”如果肯尼迪说得对,那将是一次相当了不起的卷土重来。

“Next to me, Stephen Miller is the strongest MAHA supporter in the administration,” Kennedy wrote on social media platform X Friday. “It’s time to unleash the Kraken.”If Kennedy’s right, it would be quite the comeback.

大多数“让美国再次健康”支持的候选人在上周的选举中落败,当时该运动对共和党的不满情绪日益高涨,而经济等其他问题的优先级高于该运动的关切。

Most MAHA-backed candidates lost in last week’s election amid the movement’s mounting frustration with the GOP and as other issues like the economy took priority over MAHA's concerns.

肯尼迪支持者对白宫的失望在二月达到顶点,当时特朗普试图加强一种他们认为会导致癌症的农药的生产。当政府助手推迟发布肯尼迪定义超加工食品的计划时,他们对企业正在影响白宫政策的怀疑得到加强。上周,肯尼迪的前顾问卡莉·米恩斯在接受播客主持人乔·罗根采访时证实了他们的担忧。米恩斯指责怀尔斯阻碍肯尼迪,为行业效力。怀尔斯的一位发言人否认了米恩斯的指控。

The disappointment of Kennedy’s supporters with the White House reached a flashpoint when Trump moved to bolster the production of a pesticide they think causes cancer in February. Their suspicions that corporations were influencing White House policy were reinforced when administration aides delayed the release of Kennedy’s plan to define ultraprocessed foods. Last week, former Kennedy adviser Calley Means confirmed their fears in an interview with podcaster Joe Rogan. Means accused Wiles of doing industry’s bidding by holding Kennedy back. A spokesperson for Wiles has rejected Means’ accusations.

米勒最著名的是特朗普大规模驱逐行动的设计者,但他也一直是肯尼迪议程的热心支持者,在白宫与“让美国再次健康”活动人士的交谈中表达了支持。

Miller is best known as the architect of Trump’s mass deportation campaign, but he’s also been an enthusiastic supporter of Kennedy’s agenda in White House conversations with MAHA activists.

“这就像有人按下了 UNO 逆转按钮。……如果‘让美国再次健康’运动想要有战斗的机会,这就是需要的重启,”保守派组织“转折点美国”的“让美国再次健康”影响者亚历克斯·克拉克说。

“It's like somebody hit the UNO reverse button. …This is the restart that was needed if [MAHA] was going to have a fighting chance,” said Alex Clark, a MAHA influencer at Turning Point USA, a conservative group.

据参加会议的MAHA影响者凯莉·赖尔森(Kelly Ryerson)介绍,在四月的一次白宫会议上,官员们试图安抚因特朗普二月保护除草剂草甘膦的命令而愤怒的MAHA活动人士,米勒坦率地谈到了他对水污染的担忧。赖尔森在农药问题上被称为“草甘膦女孩”(Glyphosate Girl)。

At an April White House meeting during which officials sought to calm MAHA activists angry about Trump’s February order protecting the pesticide glyphosate, Miller spoke candidly about his concerns about water contamination, according to Kelly Ryerson, a MAHA influencer on pesticide issues known online as Glyphosate Girl, who attended the meeting.

“他在谈论自己对食品和水污染的担忧,说这是一件非常重大的事情,他本人,和他自己的家人,都会对饮用水进行过滤采取预防措施,”她说。

“He was talking about his own concerns around food and water contamination, and that it's a really enormous deal, and that he himself, with his own family, takes precautions with filtering their water,” she said.

41岁的米勒是去年特朗普成立的由肯尼迪领导的MAHA委员会成员,该委员会发布了一份报告,概述了改善儿童健康的政策。

Miller, 41, was a member of the Kennedy-led MAHA Commission Trump set up last year, which released a report outlining policies to improve children’s health.

作为四个年幼孩子的父亲,他还支持特朗普八月的一项行政命令,指示联邦机构减少推荐给儿童的疫苗数量,并将疫苗接种分散到更多的医生就诊中。该命令是在白宫助手们表示,由于疫苗讨论不受政治欢迎,他们正在淡化疫苗讨论数月之后发布的。

A father of four young children, he also supported Trump’s August executive order directing federal agencies to reduce the number of recommended vaccines for children and spread out the shots over more doctor appointments. That order came months after White House aides said they were downplaying vaccine discussions because it wasn’t politically popular.

“制药行业和医疗行业的某些方面,施压让你的孩子出生几天后就打满疫苗,却不了解长期后果,这是一场医学悲剧,”米勒在签署该行政命令时说,他在椭圆形办公室与特朗普和肯尼迪一起发言。

“The pressure from the pharmaceutical industry and from aspects of the medical industry to pump your kids full of shots days after birth with no understanding of the long-term consequences has been a medical travesty,” Miller said at theg of the executive order, speaking in the Oval Office alongside Trump and Kennedy.

米勒的妻子凯蒂·米勒(Katie Miller)是一名前白宫助手,她与肯尼迪对疫苗的担忧相同,并在自己的播客上谈到了她一些孩子的疫苗接种史。在一月的一期节目中,她认为“健康的孩子不打疫苗会好得多”。凯蒂·米勒说,她最大的孩子已经完全接种疫苗,患有牛奶-大豆蛋白过敏,而她第三个孩子没有接种疫苗,是米勒家孩子中最健康的一个。然而,研究尚未发现疫苗接种会使人更容易患上过敏。

Miller’s wife, Katie Miller, a former White House aide, shares Kennedy’s concerns about vaccines and talked about some of her children’s vaccination history on her podcast. In a January episode, she argued that “healthy children can do a lot better not being vaccinated.”Katie Miller said her oldest child, who is fully vaccinated, has a milk-soy protein allergy, while her third child, who was not vaccinated, is the healthiest among the Miller children. However, studies have not found that vaccination makes people more likely to develop allergies.

米恩斯在周日播出的CBS《面对国家》节目采访中,称米勒接替怀尔斯的任命“对美国来说是一个非常好的迹象”。

Means called Miller’s appointment to replace Wiles “a very good sign for America” in an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation” that aired Sunday.

米恩斯表示,米勒比任何其他政府官员都更了解“我们政治体系的企业控制”,并希望“对特殊利益集团采取强硬措施”。多位MAHA支持者告诉《政治新闻》,他们希望米勒采取行动限制草甘膦和其他农药的使用,公布超加工食品的定义,并使学校午餐与肯尼迪今年1月发布的新膳食指南保持一致。

Means said Miller “understands the corporate capture of our political system” better than any other government official and wants to “go hard against special interests.”Several MAHA supporters told POLITICO they hoped Miller would act to restrict the use of glyphosate and other pesticides, release the definition of ultraprocessed food and align school lunches with the new dietary guidelines Kennedy released in January.

“MAHA圈子里存在失望情绪,也有人质疑我们是否走在正确的道路上。这是特朗普和担任其幕僚长的米勒真正回应号召的机会,”支持MAHA目标的希尔达·戈尔(也被称为“整体希尔达”)表示。

“There has been disappointment in MAHA circles and questions about whether we're headed in the right direction. Here is a chance for Trump and Miller as his chief of staff to really heed the call,” said Hilda Gore, also known as Holistic Hilda, who supports MAHA’s goals.

一位要求匿名以坦率发言的食品行业代表认为,米勒可能对MAHA政策更为开放,但他指出,中期选举显示选民关注的是可负担性,而试图定义超加工食品会推高杂货价格。

A food industry representative granted anonymity to speak candidly said that Miller might be more open to MAHA policies but argued that the midterm elections showed voters were concerned with affordability and that trying to define ultraprocessed food would increase grocery prices.

MAHA支持者、《美国妈妈联合会》创始人禅·哈尼卡特希望,米勒的任命加上明年民主党控制的众议院和参议院,能够推动对农药采取更严厉的行动。

Zen Honeycutt, a MAHA supporter and founder of Moms Across America, hoped Miller’s appointment, along with a Democrat-controlled House and Senate next year, would lead to tougher actions on pesticides.

“过去两年在农药改革方面是失败的,如果民主党、斯蒂芬·米勒和总统明年合作,接下来两年可能会取得成功,”她说。

“The past two years have been a failure in pesticide reform, and the following two years could be successful if the Democrats and Stephen Miller and the president work together,” she said.

赖尔森表示,她希望看到米勒帮助禁止收获前干燥——即在收获前不久使用草甘膦杀死杂草——并降低环保署允许的农作物农药残留限量。

Ryerson said she'd like to see Miller help ban pre-harvest desiccation — the use of glyphosate to kill weeds shortly before harvest — and reduce the EPA’s allowable limits for pesticide residue on crops.

MAHA支持者向《政治报》表示,米勒对共和党2028年的动员努力可能至关重要,他们认为正是这些选民帮助特朗普在2024年赢得胜利。民主党人最近已向该运动示好,左倾智库美国进步中心负责人尼拉·坦登呼吁民主党人争取肯尼迪的支持者。

MAHA supporters told POLITICO that Miller could be crucial to Republican 2028 efforts to mobilize the voters they credit for helping deliver Trump’s victory in 2024. Democrats have recently made overtures to the movement, and Neera Tanden, head of the left-leaning think tank Center for American Progress has called on Democrats to woo Kennedy’s supporters.

“共和党目前的未来取决于斯蒂芬·米勒和小罗伯特·肯尼迪能否兑现特朗普承诺要兑现的事情,”德尔·比格特里说。他曾在肯尼迪2024年总统竞选期间担任其通讯主任,也是非营利组织知情同意行动网络的创始人,该组织质疑疫苗安全性并反对学校疫苗强制令。

“The Republican Party's future right now is hanging on the ability for Stephen Miller and Robert Kennedy Jr. to deliver what Trump said he would deliver,” said Del Bigtree, who was Kennedy’s communications director during the health secretary’s 2024 presidential campaign and is the founder of the Informed Consent Action Network, a nonprofit that questions vaccine safety and opposes school vaccination mandates.
