<p>President Donald Trump announced on Monday that he has selected Susan Monarez, the current acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to be the agency&#8217;s permanent head.</p>
<p>&#8220;I am proud to announce that Dr. Susan Monarez is my Nominee to serve as the next Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),&#8221; Trump wrote on social media. &#8220;Dr. Monarez brings decades of experience championing Innovation, Transparency, and strong Public Health Systems.&#8221;</p>
<p>The news comes after Trump withdrew his first nominee for the role, Dr. Dave Weldon, just hours before his Senate confirmation hearing that was scheduled earlier this month.</p>
<p>&#8220;As an incredible mother and dedicated public servant, Dr. Monarez understands the importance of protecting our children, our communities, and our future,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Americans have lost confidence in the CDC due to political bias and disastrous mismanagement.&#8221;</p>
<p>Monarez — who has a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin and Postdoctoral training in Microbiology and Immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine — will work &#8220;closely with our GREAT Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy Jr,&#8221; Trump added.</p>
<p>&#8220;Together, they will prioritize Accountability, High Standards, and Disease Prevention to finally address the Chronic Disease Epidemic and, MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN!&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Trump had tapped Weldon, a former Republican congressman from Florida, to lead the agency in November, but ended up <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-names-former-florida-congressman-cdc-director" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pulling</a> his nomination on March 13th because it was not clear that he was going to have enough Republican support to make it through the confirmation process.</p>
<p>In a lengthy statement, Weldon blamed the pharmaceutical industry for his nomination being tanked, saying that he was viewed &#8220;very negatively by the industry&#8221; despite using pharmaceuticals &#8220;on a daily basis to help my patients.&#8221;</p>
