Source: The Hill
“The White House has withdrawn the nomination of Dave Weldon to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). A source familiar with the matter told The Hill it became clear to the White House that Weldon did not have the votes in the full Senate to be confirmed. The source said Weldon was informed Wednesday night that his nomination was being withdrawn. A White House official confirmed Weldon’s nomination was pulled but did not offer an explanation, though Weldon has come under scrutiny for his longtime promotion of anti-vaccine views. Weldon, a former Republican congressman from Florida, was to be the first CDC director subject to the confirmation process.” (03/13/25)
