周四，特朗普总统指责路易斯安那州共和党参议员比尔·卡西迪“非常不忠”，并在其反对总统提名的第二任卫生局局长人选确认过程中“玩弄政治把戏”。
特朗普在讲话结束时敦促选民将这位路易斯安那州共和党人替换下台。在Truth Social的一篇帖子中，特朗普抨击卡西迪导致D·凯西·米恩斯的提名未能获得确认。
“数月来，路易斯安那州这位伟大州的参议员比尔·卡西迪，这位靠‘特朗普’背书当选却后来投票弹劾‘特朗普总统’的人，如今已被证明完全是一场骗局和闹剧，他一直在阻挠罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 Jr.的提名人选凯西·米恩斯出任美国卫生局局长这一重要职位，”特朗普写道。
他将米恩斯描述为“强大的MAHA（让美国再次健康）战士”，将“继续就我国面临的诸多重要健康问题为MAHA而战”。

米恩斯的兄弟考利·米恩斯是白宫顾问，他也将提名失败归咎于卡西迪。
“比尔·卡西迪是为捐款人服务的无脑傀儡，是从美国民众病痛中牟利的现状体系的盲目捍卫者，”他在X平台上写道。“在凯西的确认过程中，比尔·卡西迪处处设法拖延她、诋毁她。去年的几个月里，比尔·卡西迪知道凯西的预产期。他原本要求在她预产期当天安排听证会，最后却在最后一刻将听证会改在了两天后。”
“他本可以提前几周安排听证会，”他补充道。“凯西最终在第一次听证会预定举行的当天生下了孩子。”

在随后的一篇帖子中，特朗普宣布提名前福克斯新闻频道特约撰稿人妮可·萨菲尔医生。他称她是“顶尖医生”，其职业生涯致力于指导女性应对乳腺癌诊断，同时“不知疲倦地倡导提高男女癌症早期检测和预防水平”。
特朗普进一步敦促选民替换卡西迪，卡西迪目前面临路易斯安那州财政部长约翰·弗莱明和路易斯安那州共和党众议员朱莉娅·莱特洛的初选挑战。

President Trump accused Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., on Thursday of being “very disloyal” and playing “political games” over his opposition to the confirmation of the commander-in-chief’s second Surgeon General nominee.
The President concluded his remarks by urging voters to replace the Louisiana Republican. In a Truth Social post, Trump assailed Cassidy over the failure to secure D. Casey Means’ confirmation.
“For months, Senator Bill Cassidy (of the GREAT State of Louisiana!), a very disloyal person whose ‘TRUMP’ Endorsement got him elected, but later voted to impeach ‘President Trump’ on what has now proven to be a total Hoax and Scam, has stood in the way of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Nominee, Casey Means, for the important position of U.S. Surgeon General,” Trump wrote.
He described Means as a “strong MAHA (Make America Healthy Again) Warrior” who “will continue to fight for MAHA on the many important health issues facing our Country.”

Means’ brother, Calley Means, who serves as a White House advisor, also blamed Cassidy for the failed nomination.
“Bill Cassidy is a mindless avatar for his donors and a blind defender of the status quo system that is profiting from American sickness,” he wrote on X. “At every turn during Casey’s confirmation, Bill Cassidy worked to delay her and smear her. For several months last year, Bill Cassidy knew Casey’s due date. He demanded to schedule her hearing on her due date, and at the last minute scheduled it two days later.”
“He could have scheduled it weeks before,” he added. “Casey ended up having her baby the hour her first hearing was scheduled.”

In a subsequent post, Trump announced the nomination of Dr. Nicole Saphier, a former Fox News Channel contributor. He called her “a STAR physician” who has spent her career guiding women through breast cancer diagnoses while “tirelessly advocating to increase early cancer detection and prevention for both men and women.”
Trump further urged voters to replace Cassidy, who faces primary challenges from Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming and Rep. Julia Letlow, R-La.
