Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

A nominee for Surgeon General has withdrawn from consideration, according to reports. The individual had been nominated by President Trump.

According to Politico, the nominee’s name was Casey Means. However, it appears that President Trump has withdrawn her nomination due to concerns about her past statements on RFK Jr., a prominent figure in the anti-vaccination movement.

NPR reported earlier that the nominee had also faced criticism for her views on vaccination. The New York Times stated that the withdrawal of the nomination was seen as a significant development in the ongoing debate over vaccine mandates and public health policies.

Additionally, Politico reported that Means’ withdrawal from consideration has raised concerns about the potential impact on her re-election bid in her current role. The Washington Post noted that Trump’s decision to withdraw her nomination may have been influenced by her past statements on RFK Jr., who has been a vocal critic of vaccine mandates.

It is worth noting that the details surrounding Means’ withdrawal from consideration are not yet clear, and further information may become available in the coming days or weeks.
