Trump officials' feud exposes GOP divisions over MAHA movement

bostonglobe.com —

A public feud between former Trump administration officials over alleged corruption in public health policymaking has exposed divisions within the Republican Party following midterm losses, potentially reshaping alliances tied to the Make America Healthy Again movement. Calley Means, a former adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., accused ex-chief of staff Susie Wiles and adviser James Blair on Joe Rogan's podcast of catering to lobbyists over public health, citing a claim about sugar industry donations. Wiles and Blair denied the allegations, with Blair threatening a lawsuit. The dispute follows voter concerns about corruption in the midterms, where Democrats gained control of Congress. MAHA activists, frustrated with stalled environmental reforms, may now consider bipartisan cooperation, though Democrats face complications in balancing investigations with building ties to the movement.
