“Dr. Joe Ladapo is all those things and has the courage and determination to do what is good if it is not easy,” the governor said in a tweet. “Lapado as a CDC director means that Maha (Awerse Again is healthy again) is not just an empty slogan.”
President Donald Trump announced that he was former American representative Dr. Dave Weldon tapped the White House for the role last year, but earlier this month pulled his nominationSo now the president has to tap someone else for the position.
“Twelve hours before my planned confirmation hearing in the Senate I received a phone call from an assistant in the White House and I inquired that my nomination to be director of CDC was withdrawn because there were not enough voices to get me confirmed,” Weldon said in a statement posted online by the New York Times And Washington Post.
“I spoke with HHS secretary Bobbie Kennedy who was very upset. He was told the same thing and that he looked forward to working with me at CDC. He said I was the perfect person for the job.”
Last year Desantis Ladapo drove for secretary of the Ministry of Health and Human Services before Trump announced Robert F. Kennedy Jr. For that role.
