Joe Biden is facing pushback over his pick for Secretary of Health and Human Services.
On Monday, Biden announced his nomination
of California Attorney General Xavier Becerra. However, critics are
questioning the decision by citing Becerra’s lack of qualifications for
the job.
Becerra, who previously served Congress, has no medical background or work experience with the HHS. He is also pro-abortion.
In 2017, Becerra filed criminal charges against a pro-life activist
who uncovered Planned Parenthood’s involvement in selling aborted
fetuses to biotech companies. Some Republican lawmakers said they will
not vote to confirm Becerra and are urging others to do the same.
