CNN: President-Elect Joe Biden Announces Key Members of Health Team

EXCERPT:

DEAN: "We do have this breaking news for you this morning, as the Biden transition team formally announcing these key players in their health team. Of course, as we see those Coronavirus numbers surging, this team going to play a critical role in getting Coronavirus under control. So let’s walk through some of the members of this Biden health team. We know that President-Elect Joe Biden has selected Xavier Becerra, the California Attorney General, to serve as his Health and Human services secretary. This, of course, bringing more diversity to Biden’s cabinet at a time when there have been calls from outside groups to put more diverse candidates or more diverse nominees in his cabinet. And also, when Biden himself has pledged to make a cabinet and put together a cabinet that looks like America. We also know that Dr. Vivek Murthy will be reprising his role as Surgeon General. He served as that under President Obama. He will be reprising that role under President-Elect Joe Biden. He also chairs Biden’s Covid-19 advisory board and has been a longtime adviser to him throughout this pandemic. Both of those are Senate confirmed. We know Dr. Rochelle Walensky will be tapped to head up the CDC. That is not a Senate-confirmed post, but you also probably know her. She is a CNN contributor. You’ve seen her face on our air many, many times.”
