Oct. 30 The Senate confirmation hearing for President Donald Trump’s nominee for surgeon general was delayed Thursday because the candidate went into labor.
Dr. Casey Means, a friend of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., wellness influencer and Make America Healthy Again advocate, was scheduled to appear Thursday morning before the Senate Health, Education Labor and Pension Committee virtually because of her pregnancy. But she went into labor with her first child.
If chosen, she would be the country’s top doctor and leading public health spokesperson.
