Mar. 24, 2022 -- President Joe Biden has removed two Trump-appointed members of the President’s Council on Sports, Nutrition and Fitness: daytime television host Mehmet Oz, MD, and former football star Herschel Walker.
Both Oz and Walker have announced their bids for the U.S. Senate, which the White House said precludes them from serving on boards.

However, the two took to social media with claims that the requested resignation was political. Both men are Republicans.
