RFK Jr. tours CDC headquarters following deadly shooting

Photo courtesy of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr./ X Aug. 12 (UPI) -- Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has visited the CDC headquarters in Atlanta where a police officer was killed in a shooting that is believed to have targeted the national public health agency. Kennedy was led by CDC security on a tour of the Roybal Campus on Monday, HHS said in a statement, with HHS Deputy Secretary Jim O'Neill and CDC Director Susan Monarez in attendance. Little information about the tour was made public aside from shattered windows across multiple buildings on campus being pointed out to Kennedy. Kennedy also visited the DeKalb County Police Department, which lost office David Rose in the shooting. The HHS secretary also visited with Rose's widow, the statement said. "He offered his deepest condolences and reaffirmed the agency's commitment to honoring officer Rose's bravery, sacrifice and service to the nation," HHS said. Rose was fatally shot while responding to the shooting at the CDC headquarters on Friday. The suspected gunman, 30-year-old Patrick Joseph White, was shot dead by police at the scene. At least 180 shots were fired during the incident, hitting at least 150 windows and doors at the CDC headquarters, CBS News reported, citing two people with knowledge of the police investigation. Authorities believe that White targeted the CDC over health problems he blamed on the COVID-19 vaccine. The shooting came on the heels of Kennedy, a vaccine skeptic, pulling $500 million in funding from developing vaccines using mRNA technology, which was used to develop the COVID-19 vaccine. Despite support from the medical community for such research and medical therapies, Kennedy claimed "the technology poses more risks than benefits." Before his visit, the union representing thousands of workers at the CDC on Sunday called on Kennedy and CDC leadership to make "a clear and unequivocal stance in condemning vaccine disinformation." "The deliberate targeting of CDC through this violent act is deeply disturbing, completely unacceptable and an attack on every public servant," the union said. "Early reports indicate the gunman was motivated by vaccine disinformation, which continues to pose a dangerous threat to public health and safety." Today I traveled to Atlanta in the wake of the heartbreaking shooting at the CDC's Roybal Campus that took the life of DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose. @POTUS and the entire administration are deeply saddened by this tragic loss. We stand with Officer Rose's wife, his two... Secretary Kennedy (@SecKennedy) August 11, 2025

Marsha Blackburn's Chances of Beating John Rose in Tennessee Governor Race
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee entered the state's 2026 gubernatorial race on Wednesday, setting up a challenge against GOP Representative John Rose, who announced his candidacy earlier this year. Why It Matters In Tennessee, a solidly Republican state that typically does not have competitive general elections, the gubernatorial primary is likely to determine who will be the state's next leader. Blackburn and Rose have both established themselves as staunchly conservative lawmakers in Congress but are now on a crash course in the Volunteer State. What to Know Blackburn, who was said to be considering a run for governor, made her plans official in a post to X Wednesday morning. In a video posted to the social media platform, she pledged to make Tennessee the country's "number one job-creating, energy-producing powerhouse" while touting her support for President Donald Trump. "I love Tennessee. I believe in Tennesseans and I'm ready to deliver the kind of conservative leadership that will ensure our state is America's conservative leader for this generation and the next," Blackburn said. Polling on the race is limited, but one early survey suggests Blackburn may have a lead over Rose. A Fabrizio Lee & Associates survey from January found that 71 percent of respondents would vote for Blackburn in the GOP primary, while 13 percent said they would support Rose. Sixteen percent were undecided. The poll surveyed 800 likely voters from January 13 to January 16 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.46 percentage points. Senator Marsha Blackburn attends a press conference in Washington, D.C. on September 27, 2023. Senator Marsha Blackburn attends a press conference in Washington, D.C. on September 27, was elected as the state's senator in 2018 and has been a prominent Tennessee lawmaker for years, which will likely raise her name recognition with the state's primary voters. A straw poll conducted at the Davidson County Republican Party's summer picnic in May similarly found Blackburn with a lead among the 345 participants. Sixty-four percent leaned toward Blackburn, while 36 percent said they would support Rose in the primary, The Tennessee Star reported. Representative Tim Burchett won a single vote as a write-in candidate. Trump, whose endorsement could be key to some primary voters, has not weighed in on the race. Blackburn is the third incumbent senator to announce she is running for governor, potentially vacating a Senate seat. Democratic Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado and Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville of Alabama are also running for governor. What People Are Saying Rose's campaign chairman, Chris Devaney, said in a statement provided to Newsweek: "John and Senator Blackburn have a mutual respect. Like most Tennessee Republicans, John has voted to keep Senator Blackburn in Washington. But Tennessee is at a crossroads and now we get to have a 365-day conversation about who would make the best CEO of the state. Senator Blackburn is going to talk a lot about Washington. John is going to talk about his record as a CEO, an outsider, and a reformer." This is going to be a great debate about the future of Tennessee. With a six month head start, John Rose has made a lot of new friends across the state and raised an historic level of resources that will put us on a path to victory." Newsweek also reached out to Blackburn's campaign for comment via email. Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs wrote on X: "Tennessee doesn't follow; we lead. With Marsha Blackburn as Governor, it will stay this way. @VoteMarsha has a proven record of defending Tennessee conservative values, and exactly one year from today, I will proudly cast my vote for her to be our 51st Governor. What Happens Next The primary is on August 6, 2026. Candidates will spend the coming year traversing the state and making their case to voters. No general election polling has been made public, but the Cook Political Report classifies the race as "Solid Republican." It's not expected to become competitive, as Trump won the state by about 30 points last November.
