Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been on Capitol Hill this week in an attempt to drum up support for his nomination to be the next leader of the Department of Health and Human Services. 

According to one senator he spoke to, Kennedy is aligning himself with President-elect Donald Trump's stance on abortion and has signaled that he will exercise restraint when it comes to regulating the agricultural industry.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R–Ala., said following his meeting with Kennedy that his view on abortion is "whatever Trump decides" and that Kennedy will "back him 100%." Trump has repeatedly said he wants to let the states decide the matter for themselves and is against a national abortion ban. He has also expressed support for certain limited exceptions to abortion restrictions, such as when the life of the mother is in jeopardy.  

Tuberville also said he spoke to Kennedy about not going "overboard" when it comes to regulating farmers. The senator told reporters that Kennedy is "very on board" with protecting their livelihoods and "understands our farmers are in trouble, and we want to make sure that we have farmers that can make a living."

Kennedy's nomination has drawn skepticism from both pro-life groups and those in the agriculture sector. Pro-life groups have expressed concern over Kennedy's past statements that extol a liberal position on reproductive rights, while people in the agricultural sector have expressed concern over Kennedy's crusade against processed foods and pesticides. The fears from those in the agriculture sector were bolstered after Trump said he wants to let Kennedy "go wild on health and dramatically shake things up."

However, according to Tuberville, Kennedy understands the need to strike a balance when it comes to regulating the food industry, and he confirmed his views on abortion have evolved to be in line with Trump's. 

"We talked about abortion and the big thing about abortion is he's telling everybody, 'Listen whatever president Trump [supports] I'm going back him 100%,'" Tuberville told reporters following his meeting with Kennedy.

Tuberville highlighted how Trump has expressed support for three main exceptions to abortion restrictions, which include instances when the life of the mother is in jeopardy, or when either rape or incest was the cause of a woman's pregnancy.

"I just asked him, ‘In the past you’ve been pro-abortion,’ and he said, well, it’s basically, he and President Trump have sat down and talked about it, and both of them came to an agreement, ‘Hey, Roe-Wade is gone, it’s gone to the states, let the people vote on it,’" Tuberville said. 

Tuberville added that he also agrees with Trump's stance on abortion, telling reporters that while he is pro-life, he is also "glad the American citizens have a chance to vote in their state," adding that Kennedy feels the same.

While recounting his conversation with Kennedy to reporters, Tuberville also shared that the two discussed how Kennedy would approach the agriculture industry, considering his fervent belief that the American food system is deeply flawed. Republicans who hail from states where agriculture is a major industry have expressed concern about Kennedy restricting modern farming techniques. Meanwhile, a Michigan soybean and corn farmer called Kennedy's nomination a "danger" to the agriculture industry.

Tuberville echoed the concerns of his fellow GOP lawmakers following his meeting with Kennedy, telling reporters that while his constituents are "very concerned" about food safety, they do not want regulations to be so stringent that it puts farmers out of a job. 

"I can understand that," Tuberville said of his constituents' concerns, "and he's very on board. He understands our farmers are in trouble, and we want to make sure that we have farmers that can make a living, and we don't lose our our family farms."

Fox News Digital reached out to spokespeople for the potential future HHS secretary but did not receive a response by press time. 

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will be asked to explain some of his beliefs about farming and food production by Republicans who are protective of the agricultural industry in their states. This could stand in the way of a smooth confirmation if he doesn't manage to address their concerns. 

"They've got to be able to use modern farming techniques, and that involves a lot of things, not only really sophisticated equipment, but also fertilizers and pesticides. So, we have to have that conversation," Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., told reporters. 

"I'm always going to stand up for farmers and ranchers."

Hoeven told Fox News Digital he would need certain assurances from Kennedy to support him. 

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told reporters he wants Kennedy "to understand that when I started farming in 1960, we raised 50 bushels of corn to the acre. Now, we raise on an annual average about 200 in Iowa. A lot more than that.

RFK JR. SAYS HE PLANS TO ALSO MEET WITH DEMS IN BID TO GET CONFIRMED AS TRUMP HHS HEAD

"And you can't feed 9 billion people on the face of the earth [if] we don't take advantage of genetic engineering."

Before meeting with Trump's pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Tuesday, Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., told reporters he planned to ask him about pesticide use. 

Afterward, it seemed Kennedy addressed any concerns, because Tuberville wrote on X, "Our meeting reaffirmed what I already knew: RFK Jr. is the right man to make sure our food is safe, bring transparency to vaccines and health care, and Make America Healthy Again."

While some Republicans are worried about the agricultural implications of Kennedy's positions, his food safety stances are providing some level of appeal to certain Democrats, whose votes he could potentially need to be confirmed. 

A number of Democratic senators told Fox News Digital their interest was piqued by Kennedy's thoughts on food regulations, but none said they had meetings scheduled yet.

"His approach to food and nutrition is more direct and perhaps might be more successful than continuing the way we've been doing it," Sen. John Hickenlooper, D-Colo., told Fox News Digital.

"I'm definitely looking forward to him coming in and testifying."

A representative for Kennedy did not provide comment to Fox News Digital in time for publication.

Conservatives ripped a social media account associated with House Democrats on Tuesday over a deleted post suggesting the economy is strong and seemingly minimizing the struggles of those who have difficulty affording groceries. 

"And here we were thinking y'all couldnt afford eggs!" the Ways and Means Democrats posted on X on Tuesday with a screenshot of an X post from journalist Paul Brandus that said, "Record air travel, holiday shopping busting records, stock market at all-time highs. The economy is 'the worst ever,' some Pollyannas whine."

The post, which has since been deleted by the Ways and Means Democrats, sparked backlash from conservatives on social media.

"What an embarrassing thing to post ... wow," Abigail Jackson, communications director for Republican Missouri Sen. Josh Hawley, posted on X, "and Dems wonder why they lost."

"Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Egg prices soared—he couldn't afford it all!" GOP Rep. Claudia Tenney posted on X. "Ways and Means Dems tweeted with smiles so wide, While the cost of eggs kept rising high! Humpty Dumpty cracked in despair, 'These prices, these prices, they're too much to bear!' Democrats laugh, they don't seem to care, But we’re stuck paying more for eggs in high-cost despair!"

"This is really what Democrat staffers on Capitol Hill think of the American majority who just rejected their policies after causing the worst inflation crisis our country has seen," conservative commentator Amanda Head posted on X. "This is just how out-of-touch they are!"

"And people wonder why the Dems lost...," Meredith Schellin Turton, digital director for House Speaker Mike Johnson, posted on X.

"Americans have been struggling for FOUR YEARS to afford basic necessities and House Democrats are mocking them," Johnson posted on X. "Talk about your all-time out of touch, disgraceful comments."

"House Dems deleted the tweet below in which they mocked people for complaining about the price of eggs, and also thought they were dunking on Republicans because there was record high spending on Black Friday," Washington Free Beacon reporter Chuck Ross posted on X.

Fox News Digital reached out to House Ways and Means Democrats for comment but did not receive a response. 

A Gallup poll released in the lead-up to the presidential election showed 52% of Americans believed they and their families are worse off today than they were four years ago. 

The polling powerhouse noted that participants' responses to whether they felt "better off" were typically tied to the U.S. economy. 

Gallup’s monthly economic confidence index, which ranges from -100 to +100, registered at -26, with 39% saying they were better off financially four years ago.

During the past three years, Americans have named inflation as the most important financial problem facing their families. The survey's findings suggest that inflation is an underlying fear of many Americans' perception of the economy despite generally low unemployment and steady economic growth.

Approximately 46% of Americans say their current economic conditions are "poor," some 29% described them as "only fair," while 25% said they were "good" or "excellent." 

Additionally, 62% said the economy is "getting worse," while 32% said in the survey that it is "getting better."

Dallas Cowboys fans who will be in attendance for the team's Thanksgiving game against the New York Giants are choosing to spend dinner time of their holiday watching two of the league's worst teams. 

They'll be there, some leaving their families at home, to support the most disappointing Cowboys team since 2020. And the organization will be feeding fans a specially curated Thanksgiving spread that includes burgers and egg rolls loaded with gravy, stuffing and cranberry sauce. 

The team offered the same thing last year, according to FOX 4 Dallas Fort-Worth.

"Think Thanksgiving egg roll style," Stadium Chef Heather Fuller told FOX 4 in November 2023. "It’s got everything some of these other items have. It’s just in egg roll form, and then you dip it in the gravy and eat it. So, it’s something fun, something different and something very unique. So, we’re excited to be able to roll that out this year."

The egg roll is making a return to the team's Thanksgiving lineup this year, but this year it will also include macaroni and cheese and other ingredients, according to KDAF 23.  

The team is also offering a pie stuffed with turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes, green beans and cranberry sauce and a sandwich that includes smoked turkey, mac and cheese, stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce and gravy. 

To top it all off, the team will be serving chicken nuggets in the shape of stars. 

ESPN STAR GETTING ‘VERY, VERY WORRIED’ ABOUT JERRY JONES, HAS JOE BIDEN IN MIND

But it might not all go down as easily for fans as they watch their team take the field during a forgettable season. 

The fans won't be watching star quarterback Dak Prescott and will have to settle for backup Cooper Rush as they look to improve on a 4-7 start to the season. 

Prescott underwent season-ending surgery, and Rush helped Dallas win its fourth game of the season against Washington Sunday. The Cowboys still need one more win to avoid their worst record in a season since 1989. 

Prescott signed a four-year, $240 million contract — the most lucrative in NFL history — hours before the season opener against the Cleveland Browns Sept. 8. The team previously made wide receiver CeeDee Lamb the league's highest-paid player at the position with a new contract ahead of the season. 

Despite all that money spent on offense, Prescott, statistically, was off to one of his worst starts passing. With eight interceptions in eight games, Prescott recorded the worst passer rating and second-worst interception percentage of his career in a single season.

And as the team has faltered, many around the NFL and sports media have used the Cowboys' failure as a springboard for comedy. 

Former Broncos Super Bowl champion and current ESPN host Shannon Sharpe blasted the Cowboys in an episode of the "Nightcap" podcast. 

"I would’ve left the stadium with a bag over my head. Ain’t no way you’ll see me leaving the stadium when I got beat like that. After I’ve gotten beat like that every game. … And you do this?" Sharpe said.

"It’s disrespectful. It’s disrespectful to the fans who pay their hard-earned money. But you know what, it couldn’t happen to a better franchise. Because all that owner do is run his mouth and talk about what they’re gonna do. … And all their players do, because they take it from the owner, is run their mouth — and they ain’t won dog crap. None of them."

Legendary former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning piled on during a bit while hosting the Country Music Awards recently.

Manning and CMA co-hosts Lainey Wilson and Luke Bryan made a reference to "Cowboys Cry Too," Kelsea Ballerini's hit song with Noah Kahan.

"But enough about Jerry Jones," Manning said. 

The Cowboys have won their last two games on Thanksgiving and will be facing a Giants team that is 2-9 and could be in line to play its third quarterback of the season, Drew Lock.
