Trump taps Nicole B. Saphier as third surgeon general nominee after pulling earlier pick
President Donald Trump announced he is nominating Dr. Nicole B. Saphier for surgeon general, pulling his prior pick Dr. Casey Means whose nomination had stalled in Congress; this marks his third surgeon general nomination in his second term. Saphier, a radiologist and Fox News contributor, would join the U.S. Public Health Service and guide national health advisories, following the earlier withdrawal of Janette Nesheiwat and Means.
