"Biden's NIH Pick Faces Scrutiny Over Medical Malpractice Suits"

Monica Bertagnolli, President Joe Biden's nominee to run the National Institutes of Health (NIH), has agreed to two major ethics demands made by Senator Elizabeth Warren. Bertagnolli pledged to not seek employment or compensation from pharmaceutical companies with annual revenues of $10 billion or more for four years after leaving government, and to recuse herself from NIH decisions related to companies she has had prior relationships with for four years. Warren plans to support Bertagnolli's nomination if it comes up for a vote. However, Bertagnolli is still facing opposition from Senator Bernie Sanders, who is denying her a confirmation hearing over demands for greater action to cut drug prices.

"Bernie Sanders Blocks Biden's Medical Research Nominee, Refuses to Back Down"

The nomination of Monica Bertagnolli to run the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has become a source of contention between the Biden administration and Sen. Bernie Sanders.

Sanders has vowed to oppose all health nominees until his demands are met. The White House has defended its nominations process and remains committed to getting Bertagnolli confirmed. The impasse highlights the challenges Biden faces with his nominees and the leverage senators have in the confirmation process.
