President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he is nominating Heidi Overton, a White House domestic policy adviser, to lead the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
“Dr. Heidi has been a ROCKSTAR in my Administration, where she has worked directly with Secretary Kennedy, Dr. Oz, and team, to deliver on the MOST TRANSFORMATIVE Health Agenda in History,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “She is known to take on the HARDEST issues, and bring me solutions that work best for the Country.”
Republican Rep. Buddy Carter of Georgia and oncologist Jeff Vacirca were also being considered for the role, NOTUS reported earlier this week.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
