The Kennedy family has always been deeply rooted in the world of US politics. Robert Kennedy Jr. is the nephew of former US president John F. Kennedy and is well-versed in the world of politics.

The 71-year-old has been a pioneer in the Make America Healthy Again Alliance (MAHA Alliance). However, as per reports, Robert is also regarded as an anti-vaccine activist and health conspiracy theorist.

Kennedy Jr.'s Instagram was reportedly blocked for spreading misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. Despite this, he has retained his stance against vaccines since then.

On the other hand, with Donald Trump winning the presidential election last year, the Senate had to choose a new Secretary for Health and Human Services and appointed Robert Kennedy Jr for the job. Subsequently, Danica Patrick shared her feelings on an Instagram story and wrote:

"Thank you to so many people for giving @robertfkennedyjr a platform when mainstream didn't... And for building @mahaalliance into what it is. A force!"

However, she has not stayed far from political remarks and was appreciative of Trump's government for appointing Tulsi Gabbard as the Director of National Intelligence in the US, and said (via One Nation with Brian Kilmeade on Instagram):

"Right. Obviously, down with DEI. The first official hire that he had for a major seat was Susie Wiles (the 32nd and current White House Chief of Staff). So it was a woman for that position. I think women have nothing to do with it. He's always been extremely supportive. I think it has everything to do with the best person for the job, which again, is what everyone wants to hear and what everyone wants."

Patrick also went to her X (formerly Twitter) account and applauded Donald Trump for his work:

"All you have to do is see how many times @realDonaldTrump has been right to realize @RobertKennedyJr and @TulsiGabbard, who he nominated…. should be confirmed. Big day for America's health and safety."

The 2025 IndyCar season will start on March 2, with the final race of the season to take place on August 31, at Nashville.
