Ali Rogin:
Though she’s been nominated by President Trump to be U.S. surgeon general, Casey Means prefers to call herself a metabolic health evangelist, a physician turned wellness influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers on social media.
A hero of the so-called MAHA movement, make America healthy again, Means has close ties to HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. She was a close adviser last year during his presidential run. In announcing her nomination, Mr. Trump said: “Casey has impeccable MAHA credentials.”
Donald Trump, President of the United States: Bobby really thought she was good. I don’t know her. I listened to the recommendation of Bobby. I met her yesterday and once before. She’s a very outstanding person, a great academic, actually. So I think she will be great.
