Senator Bernie Sanders plans to vote against the confirmation of Monica Bertagnolli as the director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which could pose a major roadblock for President Biden's pick. The nomination has cleared a committee vote and is now headed to the full Senate for confirmation. Sanders' opposition comes as a result of his protest against the NIH's lack of action on lowering drug prices. The confirmation vote is being closely watched as it could determine the future leadership of the NIH.
