What: After having to pull his previous CDC nominee at the last minute, Trump has nominated Susan Monarez as the new CDC director, transitioning her from her acting role at the agency. Monarez, a Ph.D., would be the first head of the CDC to undergo Senate confirmation if approved.

Key Line: “Monarez is likely to face questions over the role she’s played in controversial decisions at the agency in recent months, including undermining the independence of the CDC’s flagship medical research publication, abruptly delaying a meeting of the outside vaccine advisers and plans to research whether vaccines cause autism — long after its scientists had debunked the claims.”
