A nominee for surgeon general has withdrawn from consideration, according to reports. The individual was previously selected by President Trump for the position.
According to Politico, the nominee had faced opposition due to concerns about their past statements on health issues. NPR also reported that the nominee’s views on certain topics had raised questions among some lawmakers.
The New York Times stated that President Trump had withdrawn the nomination of Casey Means for surgeon general, citing unspecified reasons.
