Means Faces Uphill Path to Surgeon General Confirmation
TL;DR Summary
Trump’s surgeon general nominee Casey Means has not secured enough votes on the Senate Health Committee after a tough, vaccine-focused hearing, with undecided Republicans Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski still leaning unclear. With the committee split 12-11, Means will likely need both Collins and Murkowski (and potentially other GOP votes) to move forward, signaling a narrow path to confirmation following past nomination fights.
