The White House has withdrawn the nomination of Dr. David Weldon, a former Florida congressman, to lead the CDC. The Senate health committee canceled a hearing on his nomination due to lack of votes for confirmation. Weldon is aligned with anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and has been critical of vaccines and the CDC. This marks the third Trump administration nominee to not make it to a confirmation hearing, following withdrawals by Matt Gaetz and Chad Chronister.
