Trump changed his surgeon general pick, setting aside a nominee who backed COVID masking and social distancing . What to know about his new pick, Casey Means.

Donald Trump withdrew his nominee for Surgeon General, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, on Wednesday following controversy over her credentials. The president quickly nominated a new pick, wellness influencer Dr. Casey Means, but even the MAGA faithful have already gotten the knives out for her.

The decision to pull Nesheiwat comes after a report by Anthony Clark on Substack that she obfuscated facts about her medical education. Conservative activist Laura Loomer, who is close to Trump, seized on the controversy in recent days and encouraged him to pick someone else.
