A replacement nominee has already been announced by the president.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee scheduled Nesheiwat\u2019s confirmation hearing for Thursday. Early on Wednesday, the office of the committee\u2019s top Democrat, Senator Bernie Sanders, declared that she had withdrawn her candidacy.<\/p>\n<p>With reference to Dr. Casey Means\u2019 \u201cMAHA,\u201d or Make America Healthy Again, credentials, Trump declared his intention to nominate her as surgeon general. Means, a health advocate and entrepreneur, was favored by Kennedy\u2019s friends over Neshiewat and has ties to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.<\/p>\n<p>Concerns regarding Neshiewat\u2019s representation of her degree and credentials on social media and in prior media appearances are the reason behind her withdrawal.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Nesheiwat graduated from the American University of the Caribbean in St. Maarten, but her public Linkedin page listed an M.D. degree from the University of Arkansas.<\/p>\n<p>Although Nesheiwat completed her residency at the University of Arkansas, she was not given a degree.<\/p>\n<p>On Substack, independent journalist Anthony Clark first voiced concerns regarding her resume.<\/p>\n<p>Conservative activist Laura Loomer expressed her opposition to Neshewiat\u2019s confirmation on X on Sunday, citing her support for COVID-19 vaccinations during the pandemic. Her departure was first reported by Bloomberg News.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am excited to work closely with Secretary Kennedy in a senior policy role to Make America Healthy Again and to continue supporting President Trump!\u201d On X, Nesheiwat made a post. \u201cMy mission hasn\u2019t changed, and my focus remains on enhancing the health and well-being of all Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the past, Nesheiwat contributed to Fox News as a medical expert.

He\u2019s cutting the fat and prioritizing business. Business operators and small business owners recognize and value that.

According to Fox Business, the poll found that over two-thirds of participants now anticipate either \u201cslow\u201d or \u201crobust\u201d growth for the entire year, which is a radical change from the earlier pessimistic prediction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s choice of Dr. Janette Nesheiwat to be the next Surgeon General of the United States has been retracted by the White House.
