President Donald Trump wanted a baby boom. Is it here?
USA TODAY
Trump has said he wants a baby boom. Is it here? Within his administration, it seems to be. More widely, however, the answer is complicated.
On Feb. 25, Dr. Casey Means faced lawmakers at her Senate confirmation hearing.
"We'll take a break at 11 to allow Dr. Means to care for her child," committee chair Sen. Bill Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican, said in his opening remarks.
Means, President Donald Trump's nominee for surgeon general, was originally scheduled to testify in October. But the hearing was postponed after she went into labor around that time.
It was perhaps the most visible recent example of the administration's burgeoning baby boom.
Sen. Dr. Roger Marshall, a Kansas Republican, introduced Means at the February hearing, saying: "I'm especially glad we're able to hold this meeting, which was long overdue, but being in labor is one of the best excuses we've had to delay a hearing. So congratulations to your family. We hope baby boy Phoenix, 17 weeks old today, is doing great."
