Trump Eyes Health-Policy Insider Heidi Overton for FDA Chief Role

President Trump is expected to nominate Heidi Overton, the White House deputy director of domestic policy and a physician, to be the next FDA commissioner. Overton has been a key health-policy adviser and would face Senate scrutiny before confirmation. She helped lead administration health initiatives, including food guidance updates, vaccine schedule changes, and negotiating pricing deals with pharmaceutical companies, and has drawn pushback from some health advocates aligned with the Make America Healthy Again movement.
