Washington (AP) — Calley Means, a key advisor to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a prominent advocate for the Make America Healthy Again movement, stepped down from his Trump administration position on Thursday, just days before the midterm elections. Means expressed gratitude for President Donald Trump and Kennedy, but did not disclose the reason for his resignation.
He joined the White House early in the second Trump administration and utilized his position at the Department of Health and Human Services to criticize prominent medical organizations, federal agencies, and government scientists, alleging they were primarily focused on their own interests. Means' exit comes amid discontent within the MAHA movement over the administration's perceived lack of progress on issues such as food security and regulating glyphosate.
