Trump previously announced he would nominate Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a former Fox News contributor, to be surgeon general.
It's unclear why Nesheiwat's nomination was pulled. Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for more information.
Trump added in his post that Secretary Kennedy "looks forward to working with Dr. Janette Nesheiwat in another capacity at HHS."
