Trump Is Planning to Fire FDA Commissioner Marty Makary: Report
The move follows mounting criticism over Makary’s management and clashes with Trump aides on drug approvals, vaccines and abortion pill policy.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump reportedly approved a plan to fire U.S. Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Marty Makary, though officials cautioned the decision is not yet final and could change.
- Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser demanded Makary's immediate termination, claiming his handling of mifepristone "severely undermining President Trump and Vice President Vance's pro-life credentials."
- Makary's tenure has been marked by personnel drama and staff departures; he clashed with Trump over delaying approval of flavored vape products to avoid youth appeal before reversing course.
- His departure would create another senior vacancy at the FDA and HHS immediately before midterm elections, potentially disrupting regulatory decision-making and intensifying pressure from pro-life allies.
- The agency already lacks permanent directors for the CDC and surgeon general, creating cascading leadership gaps that risk further administrative disruption as the administration navigates electoral costs.
