Senate committee advances Susan Monarez to be Trump’s CDC director
UNITED STATES SENATE, JUL 9 – The Senate HELP Committee approved Monarez's nomination 12-11; she would be the first CDC director without a medical degree since 1953 under a new confirmation law.
- On Wednesday, the Senate HELP Committee voted 12-11 along party lines to advance Susan Monarez's CDC director nomination.
- Following Weldon’s withdrawal, Trump’s first CDC director nominee, Monarez, became the first to require Senate confirmation due to a 2022 law, seen as a less controversial choice.
- At her Senate hearing, Monarez, former deputy at ARPA-H and acting CDC director, expressed support for vaccines and denied a causal link to autism.
- Following the party-line 12-11 vote, senators criticized vaccine conspiracy theories, with Democrats opposing and Sanders urging repudiation of Kennedy’s dangerous claims.
- If confirmed, the CDC will face its first Senate-confirmed leader amid the worst measles outbreak in over 30 years and declining vaccination rates.
