An alliance between Democrat Cory Booker and RFK, Jr.?

New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker could potentially have a new and unexpected partner to push his objectives on improving the U.S. food industry during the second Trump administration.

After three years of holding a narrow majority, Booker and fellow Democrats in the U.S. Senate will now be in a 53-47 minority. Their legislative hopes will now fall at the whim of a Republican trifecta in Washington led by President-elect Donald Trump in the White House.

But the New Jersey senator could heed an invitation from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Trump’s controversial pick to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, to accomplish his goals to reform the country’s food system.
