In a last-minute shake-up ahead of a confirmation hearing planned for Thursday, President Donald Trump dropped his original pick for surgeon general and selected Casey Means, a health influencer, author and key player in the “Make America Healthy Again” movement.
The announcement comes after Bloomberg reported earlier Wednesday that Janette Nesheiwat, a frequent Fox News medical contributor, was out for the role.
“Casey has impeccable ‘MAHA’ credentials, and will work closely with our wonderful Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., to ensure a successful implementation of our Agenda in order to reverse the Chronic Disease Epidemic, and ensure Great Health, in the future, for ALL Americans,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post on Wednesday afternoon.
