Trump Replaces Surgeon General Nominee, Picks Fox News Contributor Saphier

President Donald Trump has withdrawn his nomination of Casey Means for U.S. surgeon general and selected Dr. Nicole Saphier as the new nominee. Saphier, director of breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering Monmouth in New Jersey and a former Fox News contributor, will now advance to the Senate confirmation process. Means faced significant opposition, including from some Republican senators, and Trump specifically cited Senator Bill Cassidy for holding up Means' nomination. The White House confirmed the change, marking the second time Trump has altered his choice for the position.
