Top RFK Jr. adviser Calley Means quits Trump administration, WSJ reports
Means said he will keep backing Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s food agenda after leaving the White House amid delays on two priorities.
- On Thursday, Calley Means, a senior adviser to Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., resigned from President Trump's administration. Means confirmed his exit to the Wall Street Journal but declined to explain his departure.
- The White House delayed key Make America Healthy Again food priorities, including ultraprocessed food definitions and school meal standards. Sources describe Means as disillusioned by the administration's influence from special interests.
- Co-Writing the book Good Energy, Means helped broker the 2024 alliance between Kennedy and Trump before driving revised dietary guidelines and FDA ingredient transparency efforts.
- This departure represents a significant blow to the MAHA movement, potentially complicating Republican efforts to retain voters ahead of midterms. Some supporters have publicly criticized Trump's slow progress on food policy.
- Despite leaving his formal role, Means stated he will continue working to further the Kennedy-led MAHA agenda. The administration's food policy remains contentious following the failed nomination of Casey Means last year.
