MORE ON THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION Los Angeles Times: Means' Surgeon General Nomination Is Stalled As Senators Question Her Experience And Vaccine Stance https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2026-03-25/means-surgeon-general-nomination-is-stalled-as-senators-question-her-experience-vaccine-stance?utm_campaign=KHN%3A%20First%20Edition&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_8KhTdCdTQZcTwXiSMrJegztWc7c84Xd5F_yf_tSVvwohWneEns9pmxnQ60em9ukzwCJXCHvum4mJXedWArv29rg0ftg&_hsmi=410717341&utm_content=410717341&utm_source=hs_email Wellness influencer Dr. Casey Means’ nomination to be U.S. surgeon general is stalled a month after senators of both major political parties grilled her on vaccines and other health topics during a tense confirmation hearing, deepening doubts about her ability to secure the votes she needs for the role. The nomination has languished despite ongoing efforts from the White House and Make America Healthy Again activists, revealing how intractable rifts over health policy can be even when Congress has shown deference to President Trump. It’s become the latest snag in Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s agenda after two legal setbacks last week.

The department in January found that the university had discriminated against women by letting a transgender athlete play on the women’s volleyball team.
