<p>On Saturday night, President Donald Trump abruptly withdrew his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-nominates-ally-of-elon-musk-to-lead-nasa" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nomination</a> of Jared Isaacman, a close ally of Elon Musk, to be the next Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).</p>
<p>&#8220;After a thorough review of prior associations, I am hereby withdrawing the nomination of Jared Isaacman to head NASA,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114605559474286180" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post on Truth Social. &#8220;I will soon announce a new Nominee who will be Mission aligned, and put America First in Space. Thank you for your attention to this matter!&#8221;</p>
<p>The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/us/politics/trump-nasa-nominee-musk.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that Trump had told people he was going to withdraw the nomination after learning that Isaacman, an entrepreneur who has flown into space twice with Musk&#8217;s SpaceX company, made donations to Democrats. Isaacson had been <a href="https://x.com/SenateCloakroom/status/1925628326095257635" target="_blank" rel="noopener">poised</a> to get a final confirmation vote in the Senate after passing through the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.</p>
<p>In a post on X, Isaacman <a href="https://x.com/rookisaacman/status/1928995338729435432" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> he was &#8220;incredibly grateful&#8221; to Trump, the Senate, and those who supported him through the nomination process over the past six months.</p>

<p>&#8220;The President, NASA and the American people deserve the very best&#8211;an Administrator ready to reorganize, rebuild and rally the best and brightest minds to deliver the world-changing headlines NASA was built to create,&#8221; Isaacman said. &#8220;I have not flown my last mission — whatever form that may ultimately take — but I remain incredibly optimistic that humanity’s greatest spacefaring days lie ahead.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pro-Trump activist journalist Laura Loomer <a href="https://x.com/LauraLoomer/status/1928849664905728223" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on X earlier on Saturday that &#8220;Deep State operatives&#8221; were trying to &#8220;derail&#8221; Isaacman&#8217;s nomination, noting there was &#8220;reason to believe&#8221; that he was &#8220;facing retaliation because of his friendship&#8221; with Musk, who just <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/trump-musk-final-day-at-doge" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ended</a> a stint as a special government employee in Trump&#8217;s administration. Loomer also pointed out that Isaacman had given $2 million to Trump&#8217;s inauguration and was on track to get over 70 votes in the Senate.</p>
<p>Sen. Tim Sheehy (R-MT) <a href="https://x.com/TimSheehyMT/status/1928856589018038330" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reacted</a> to Loomer&#8217;s post, saying, &#8220;Astronaut and successful businessman [Isaacman] was a strong choice by President Trump to lead NASA. I was proud to introduce Jared at his hearing and strongly oppose efforts to derail his nomination.&#8221;</p>
