"Trump described Saphier, who directs breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering Monmouth, as a 'STAR physician' and an 'INCREDIBLE COMMUNICATOR' in his April 30 nomination post on Truth Social."
"Saphier can expect many questions about her qualifications, views on vaccines and other topics she's publicly addressed."
President Trump nominated Dr. Nicole Saphier for surgeon general, his third choice for the position. Saphier, a radiologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Monmouth, is expected to gain more support from Republican lawmakers compared to previous nominee Dr. Casey Means. Trump's first nominee, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, withdrew due to scrutiny over her credentials. Saphier will face questions regarding her qualifications and public views during confirmation hearings, which have not yet been scheduled. The Senate HELP Committee, which oversees confirmations, previously opposed Means, indicating potential challenges for Saphier.
