The role for the nation’s top doctor was filled by the Senate Tuesday, after President Biden's nominee, Vivek Murthy, was confirmed as the U.S. Surgeon General.
"This is a moment of tremendous suffering for our nation. More than half a million people have lost their lives to COVID-19, including beloved members of my own family," he told lawmakers. Murthy had advanced through the Senate’s Committee on Health, Education, Labor on a bipartisan basis in a 16-6 vote last week.More Related News
