They really need a competent pro-active person there. Hopefully, Jackson has the chops.
President Trump said Wednesday he will nominate White House physician Ronny Jackson, a Navy rear admiral, to serve as secretary of Veterans Affairs.
Jackson will replace the current VA secretary, David Shulkin. Robert Wilkie, the current undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, will serve as acting secretary of Veterans Affairs until Jackson is confirmed.
“I am pleased to announce that I intend to nominate highly respected Admiral Ronny L. Jackson, MD, as the new Secretary of Veterans Affairs. In the interim, Hon. Robert Wilkie of DOD will serve as Acting Secretary. I am thankful for Dr. David Shulkin’s service to our country and to our GREAT VETERANS!” Trump tweeted.
