Former Trump officials' feud exposes rifts in MAHA movement after midterm losses

A public feud between former Trump administration officials over alleged corruption in public health policymaking has exposed divisions within the White House and could reshape political alliances tied to the Make America Healthy Again movement. Calley Means, a former adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accused officials of catering to lobbyists at the expense of Americans' health. Means appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast Friday, alleging Susie Wiles and James Blair prioritized special interests over MAHA initiatives, with Wiles denying claims she sought sugar industry donations. The accusations follow midterm elections where voters ousted Republicans, with corruption a top issue. Wiles was recently replaced as chief of staff by Stephen Miller. The dispute highlights growing frustration among MAHA activists over unfulfilled policy promises, including EPA reforms on microplastics and pesticides. Some activists, like Zen Honeycutt, are open to working with Democrats, while Means suggested bipartisan opportunities exist. Democrats could use the allegations to launch investigations, though pushing against Kennedy may complicate outreach to his supporters.
