Trump's surgeon general pick pits MAGA vs. MAHA

President Trump’s second choice to serve as surgeon general has pitted some members of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement against allies of the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement.

Trump’s decision to nominate Casey Means to serve as the nation’s top physician — a choice he attributed to the advice of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — has caused backlash among some outspoken MAGA allies, sparking a fight among two factions of the president’s base.
