President Trump announced Tuesday that he will re-nominate Jared Isaacman to lead NASA, months after he pulled the billionaire entrepreneur’s nomination over his “prior associations.”
“This evening, I am pleased to nominate Jared Isaacman, an accomplished business leader, philanthropist, pilot, and astronaut, as Administrator of NASA,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
“Jared’s passion for Space, astronaut experience, and dedication to pushing the boundaries of exploration, unlocking the mysteries of the universe, and advancing the new Space economy, make him ideally suited to lead NASA into a bold new Era,” the president added. “Congratulations to Jared, his wife Monica, and their children, Mila and Liv.”
Trump also praised Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy for the “incredible job” he’s done as interim administrator of NASA.
