Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement entered American politics promising that an unlikely coalition of activists would deliver revolutionary gains for the Republican Party.
MAHA is nearly invisible on the campaign trail ahead of the Nov. 3 midterms, struggling to find a financial or messaging foothold in key races.
