Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) said on Sunday he believes that the GOP-controlled upper chamber has the votes necessary to confirm all of President-elect Donald Trump’s political nominees, including a couple that have been considered “controversial” by Democrats.

Marshall, who is a physician, spoke to Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on Sunday, focusing more on Trump’s Health and Human Services pick, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and his Dr. Mehmet Oz, who he has selected to head up the administration of Medicare and Medicaid.

“I hate to count my chickens before they hatch, but, yes, I do,” Marshall said of the votes to confirm all nominees. “They need to go through the hearing process. They’re going to get beat up by the legacy media and the left as well, but I think the votes are there.”

“As I’ve interviewed these people one-on-one, they’re been great communicators, they’re great leaders, they’re very accomplished. Yes, some of them are outside the box, but I do think we have the votes,” Marshall continued.

“You have also spent a lot of time with Robert Kennedy Jr. as well as Dr. Oz in the medical field. Tell me what you’ve learned from that time,” Bartiromo responded.

“Look, I’m excited to help Dr. Oz and Bobby Jr. about ‘Make America Healthy Again,’ and we’re talking about what that platform looks like. I think it starts with healthy quality nutrition, I think it starts with addressing chronic disease issues and really addressing this mental health crisis,” Marshall, an OB-GYN physician, said.

“So I think we’re talking about, ‘Well, how do we do that? How do we make sure that all Americans have affordable access to healthy food? How do we have more affordable access the mental health? What’s causing the mental health challenges?’ And when it comes to treating chronic diseases, how do we treat that as well? Put some meat on the bone, so to speak, of how we accomplish that,” he said.

“When we think about chronic diseases, when I was growing up maybe the incidence in America was 6%, now it’s 60%, whether it is diabetes, COPD, or heart disease. A lot of these, we think, are exacerbated and caused by our diet, as well as the toxins we’re exposed to, to our environment,” Marshall continued.

“We need to make these healthy foods affordable, and available as well, and try to eliminate and minimize the toxins that we’re exposed to. We’re coming after ultra-processed foods. We think they have a big problem and a big challenge,” he noted.
