The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee approved President Donald Trump's nominee, Susan Monarez, to lead the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on a party-line vote. This approval moves Monarez's nomination to the full Senate for confirmation. If confirmed, Monarez will be the first CDC director without a medical degree since 1953. This marks the first time the Senate will confirm a CDC head under Trump's administration, following the withdrawal of his initial nominee due to opposition within the Republican Party. The nomination has drawn attention amid ongoing vaccine policy debates.
“Unlike President Donald Trump’s other picks to lead key federal health agencies, like the NIH and FDA, Monarez does not have a history of disagreeing with the medical establishment, and has won praise from some public health experts” https://t.co/OIzAfibgaB
