Months after withdrawing his nomination for Isaacman, Trump renominated Isaacman for NASA administrator on Tuesday.
“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,” Trump wrote in his Truth Social post.
Following the renomination announcement, Isaacman thanked Trump for the opportunity in a post on X.
“Godspeed, President Donald J. Trump, and Godspeed NASA, as America leads the greatest adventure in human history,” Isaacman said in the post.
If Isaacman gets confirmed, he will take over the position from Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who has served as the agency’s interim administrator since July.
