MAHA Influencer Zen Honeycutt Endorses 10 Democrats as RFK Jr. Urges Backing Republicans

2 articles · Updated · POLITICO · Nov 2

Summary

  • Zen Honeycutt, a prominent ally of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., endorsed 10 Democrats in the final days before the midterms, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Cory Booker and Senate candidate Chris Pappas.
  • Honeycutt said her Moms Across America Movement is backing candidates who support pesticide restrictions and healthier food policy, arguing that “poison is not partisan” and that MAHA goals require cross-party support.
  • The move cuts against Kennedy’s push for supporters to stick with Republicans and could weaken his electoral strategy if other MAHA activists follow Honeycutt’s lead.
  • Her group still backs dozens of Republicans and independents, and Honeycutt has not broken with Kennedy; she appeared with him at an Iowa rally Wednesday to support Republican gubernatorial candidate Zach Lahn.
  • Moms Across America, founded in 2013 and reporting 3,000 volunteers, has expanded from food-safety activism into electoral politics through a new advocacy arm launched last year.
