US EditionTrump’s CDC Nominee Set for Senate Vote
DENVER COUNTY, COLORADO, JUL 8 – Susan Monarez received Senate committee approval by a 12-11 vote amid CDC staff cuts and controversy over vaccine policies challenged by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- The U.S. Senate health committee approved Susan Monarez on Wednesday to be President Trump's CDC director by a 12-11 party-line vote.
- The committee's decision came after several months of instability at the CDC, marked by reductions in staff, departures of key personnel, and disputes over vaccine policies under the leadership of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who oversees health matters.
- Monarez, 50, became acting director in January and was nominated in March after Trump withdrew his first nominee, David Weldon, and holds a PhD in microbiology and immunology.
- Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Dr. Monarez, who is serving as acting CDC director, for failing to take any measures to impede Kennedy's activities despite her public support for vaccines and scientific research.
- Monarez’s approval moves her closer to confirmation as the first CDC director vetted under a 2023 law, suggesting potential leadership stabilization after agency instability.
