Probably not much different than recent admins. Trump passed a tax bill and what else? If the country were somehow at a place where RFK Jr got in, it might follow that some reigning in of medical product manufacturers could happen. To me, his ascendancy would signal a degree of public mistrust requiring some modicum of legislation/regulation follow.

Otherwise I don't believe anything meaningful would change in terms of foreign policy or labour power.

(Hopefully regardless of where you are on the vax stuff, most should be able to agree that the existing medical products for COVID aren't good and to me were clearly just the quickest neoliberal fix that could be summoned after everyone abdicated responsibility for managing it. They're bludgeons to get people back to work which also satisfy the criteria that billions of public dollars be laundered to the ruling class via shareholding.)
