Conservative provocateurs Laura Loomer and Senator Team Sheehy (R-Mont.) Encourage the decision by the White House to withdraw the nomination of technology entrepreneurs Jared Isaacman as NASA administrator.
“The well -placed source tells me Jared Isaacman’s nomination to become the next @nasa administrator is determined for the voting confirmation of the senate later next week, but people in DC are now trying to convince @WhiteHouse to withdraw the plug to Isaacman before the confirmation voting,” Loomer said in a long post on the social platform X on Saturday.
“The final decision to withdraw Isaacman’s nomination can come immediately after Monday. There is a reason to believe that Isaacman might face retaliation because of his friendship with @elonmusk,” he added.
A new White House spokesman told The Hill that it was “important that the next true NASA leader with the first agenda of President Trump America and the replacement will be announced directly by President Trump immediately.”
“Astronauts and successful businessmen @rookisaacman are strong choice by President Trump to lead NASA. I am proud to introduce Jared to his hearing and strongly oppose efforts to thwart his nomination,” Sheehy said in his own X post on Saturday.
In December, President Trump launched Isaacman as his choice to head NASA, calling him “suitable to lead NASA to a brave new era.”
“Let me remind you who Jared Isaacman is. Yes, he has become a liberal in the past like @elonmusk, but because it is related to his achievements and knowledge about space, his credits are unmatched,” Loomer said in his Saturday X post.
The hill has reached the White House to comment.
