Promise Details
Kennedy campaigned on curbing pesticide exposure and reforming the EPA’s chemical approval process. He called for banning glyphosate and chlorpyrifos, and tightening safety standards for farmworkers. Yet, environmental watchdogs report that most proposed restrictions were delayed or diluted. The chemical industry exerted strong lobbying influence, and several high-profile reviews were postponed indefinitely. The gap between rhetoric and policy execution drew criticism from environmental advocates and scientists.
Why it is broken
Kennedy’s plan to curb pesticide use stalled amid industry lobbying and bureaucratic pushback. Proposed EPA bans on glyphosate and chlorpyrifos were delayed indefinitely, and new worker-safety rules languished in legal review. Environmental groups accuse his administration of capitulating to chemical manufacturers. Scientific advisers publicly criticized the lack of enforcement transparency. The promise is widely judged as broken due to regulatory inaction and political interference.
