Pointless posturing.
I assume that if he didn't approve it, it would have to be for a very good reason.

Unnecessary at best. At worst? Well, what if some new information had come to light that ought to be investigated before giving approval?

Meadows’s threat followed months of efforts by FDA scientists to try to ward off President Trump’s importuning on the vaccine and keep the review process apolitical and transparent in hopes of boosting public confidence in the shots. The FDA already had planned to clear the vaccine Saturday morning, and accelerating the authorization to Friday night was not expected to change the delivery timeline of the first shots.
