Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump's nominee for a key health position, has a neurological disorder called spasmodic dysphonia.
This rare condition causes involuntary spasms in his voice box, resulting in the characteristic raspy quality of his speech.
While there's no cure, treatments like speech therapy and even surgery can help manage the condition's impact.
Kennedy's experience highlights the challenges faced by individuals living with this often misunderstood neurological disorder.
