Trump Nominates Dr. Nicole Saphier as Surgeon General
In a recent announcement, President Donald Trump revealed his decision to nominate Dr. Nicole B. Saphier as the next U.S. Surgeon General. This news came through a post on Truth Social.
Trump praised Dr. Saphier, calling her a “STAR physician” dedicated to helping women with breast cancer and advocating for early cancer detection. He highlighted her commitment to all types of cancer care and her ability to communicate complex health issues clearly to the public. “Dr. Nicole Saphier will do great things for our Country, and help make America healthy again,” he stated.
Dr. Saphier has previously contributed to Fox News Channel.
The president’s announcement came shortly after expressing frustration over Senator Bill Cassidy, whom he accused of blocking his earlier nomination of Casey Means for the same position. Trump criticized Cassidy for his actions, stating that he hoped Louisiana voters would choose to remove him from office in the upcoming Republican primary.
In his post, Trump reiterated his support for Casey Means, who he described as a strong advocate for health issues affecting the nation. “Casey will continue to fight for important health issues facing our Country,” Trump assured.
This nomination presents a significant moment for the U.S. health community, as Dr. Saphier aims to make a positive impact on public health across the nation.
