The White House withdrew the nomination of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat for U.S. surgeon general after reports about her credentials, and President Trump announced a new pick, Dr. Casey Means.

Casey Means was previously considered for a spot in the Food and Drug Administration and is a well-known ally of RFK Jr., along with her brother Calley.

Donald Trump changed his surgeon general pick, setting aside a nominee who backed COVID masking and social distancing after Laura Loomer post.
