Trump's New Surgeon General Pick: Dr. Nicole Saphier

0:00On April 30, President Trump just yanked the nomination of Casey Means for Surgeon General and dropped a new name into the mix. On Thursday, he announced radiologist and Fox News regular, Dr. Nicole Safier as his pick instead. This comes after months of drama around Means, who's been pushing the Make America Healthy Again movement alongside Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. The switch happened despite pushback from Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who blocked Means for moving forward. Her nomination got studed back in February after a tough Senate hearing where both parties grilled her on-back scenes and why she ditched her surgical training. Senators like Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins walked away with big doubts, killing the unanimous GOP support she needed. Trump made it clear, Means is an out-of-the-fight, she'll keep battling for health reforms even without the top job. Safier steps up as Trump's third try for the role. She's director of breast imaging and memorial Sloan Kettering sits on a CDC advisory panel and wrote a hit book back in 2020 called Make.
