Trump's first surgeon general tries to stop nominee from becoming his second
At the height of the coronavirus pandemic, U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams stood with President Donald Trump at the White House, serving as a prominent face of the president’s health agenda.
Now Adams has taken a far different stand: trying to stop Trump’s nominee to be his successor, Casey Means, from being confirmed as the nation’s top doctor.
Means’s nomination has stalled in the Senate, where several Republicans have questioned her stance on vaccines, her pushes against the medical establishment and her medical credentials. Some lawmakers and staff have noted that her medical license is currently inactive. Nearly 11 months after her nomination, it is not clear how it moves forward, with some lawmakers openly frustrated with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s moves to change vaccine policy and disinclined to confirm another one of his allies.
The fight over Means’s candidacy starkly illustrates the evolution from the first Trump administration — when the president surrounded himself with more traditional health care appointees such as Adams, who had served as a state health commissioner — to his second, in which he consistently has been at odds with public health leaders.
