Trump renominates Musk ally Jared Isaacman to run NASA months after withdrawal
- On Tuesday, President Donald J. Trump announced on Truth Social he was renominating Jared Isaacman to lead NASA after withdrawing his nomination earlier.
- Last May, Isaacman had been on the cusp of becoming NASA's administrator after Senate confirmation hearings in the spring, but Trump withdrew the nomination amid a falling out with Elon Musk and concerns over donations.
- A two-time space traveler, Jared Isaacman is a billionaire who led the Inspiration4 and Polaris Dawn missions and founded Shift4 and Draken International.
- Isaacman posted on X to thank the president and Sean Duffy, saying it would be an honor to serve under their leadership after Janet Petro handed NASA oversight to Duffy.
- Trump framed the renomination as part of a push to return to the Moon, saying the future many have awaited 'will soon become reality' and NASA will 'forever make history.
