Trump to tap Heidi Overton as FDA commissioner

President Trump has chosen White House aide Heidi Overton to head the FDA, a move that aims to restore stability to the agency following the departure of former commissioner Marty Makary earlier this year. Overton, currently the deputy director of the White House Domestic Policy Council, brings a wealth of policy experience that could help navigate the complexities of drug development regulation. This nomination is significant as the FDA plays a crucial role in overseeing the safety and efficacy of pharmaceuticals, and her appointment could influence future drug approvals and policies.
