Trump pulls Casey Means' stalled surgeon general nomination, announces new pick

President Trump has announced the withdrawal of Dr. Casey Means' nomination for surgeon general, citing stalled progress in the Senate. Concerns regarding her qualifications and views on vaccines contributed to the difficulties in advancing her nomination.

In place of Dr. Means, Trump has nominated Dr. Nicole Saphier, a former contributor for Fox News Channel. The change in nominees reflects the administration's ongoing efforts to fill key health positions amid ongoing public health discussions.
