Overview
- the White House confirmed a private roundtable with Make America Healthy Again advocates took place earlier in April with President Trump and Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. present
- Turning Point USA chief Erika Kirk helped set up the session, according to Politico reporting cited by multiple outlets, with aides Calley Means and Karoline Leavitt backing the sit-down
- The meeting followed a February decision that let Bayer increase U.S. production of glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, which MAHA leaders say runs against their call for stricter pesticide limits
- Participants including Turning Point host Alex Clark and influencer Kelly Ryerson said they felt heard, yet a Politico poll found about 47% of MAHA supporters remain unhappy with Trump’s progress on their goals
- White House spokesman Kush Desai said officials are in routine contact with MAHA figures, and coverage portrays the roundtable as part of broader outreach to hold those voters before the elections
