President Trump has selected Susan Monarez, the acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to lead the agency permanently.<\/p>\n

The president withdrew his first nominee, Dr. Dave Weldon, just hours before his confirmation hearing. If confirmed by the Senate, Dr. Monarez, an infectious-disease researcher, will be the first nonphysician to lead the agency in more than 50 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cAmericans have lost confidence in the C.D.C. due to political bias and disastrous mismanagement,\u201d the president wrote on TruthSocial, adding that Dr. Monarez would work with the health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to address the chronic disease epidemic and restore the agency\u2019s accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an incredible mother and dedicated public servant, Dr. Monarez understands the importance of protecting our children, our communities, and our future,\u201d Mr. Trump wrote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dr. Monarez assumed the acting director position a few days after Mr. Trump took office in January, leaving her perch as deputy director of a new federal biomedical research agency created during the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

Dr. Monarez was expected to serve until Mr. Trump\u2019s first choice for the job, Dr. Weldon, could be confirmed. But after Mr. Trump decided to withdraw<\/a> the nomination, Republican aides in the Senate said that Dr. Weldon had failed to impress them with a plan for the agency.<\/p>\n
