Trump says it’s ‘possible’ Means will be withdrawn as surgeon general nominee
Quick Insights
The Bottom Line
Trump said he may withdraw Casey Means's Surgeon General nomination due to insufficient Republican Senate support.
AI Summary
President Trump said Sunday it is "possible" he may withdraw Casey Means's nomination as U.S. Surgeon General, signaling flexibility on a pick that lacks sufficient Republican support in the Senate. Means, the sister of White House Senior Advisor Calley Means, faced resistance from GOP lawmakers despite Trump's backing for the position. A surgical general nominee requires Senate confirmation, and without adequate Republican votes, the nomination faces an uphill path to approval. The potential withdrawal would mark a significant reversal for Trump, who publicly championed Means for the role. The indication comes amid broader scrutiny of Means's medical credentials and policy positions.
