The White House announced on Saturday that they withdrew Jared Isaacman’s nomination to lead NASA, a move that comes just days before he was set to face a confirmation vote in the Senate.
In a statement, White House spokeswoman Liz Huston emphasized that it’s “essential” the next leader of the U.S. space agency is in “complete alignment with President Trump’s America First agenda.”
“The Administrator of NASA will help lead humanity into space and execute President Trump’s bold mission of planting the American flag on the planet Mars. It’s essential that the next leader of NASA is in complete alignment with President Trump’s America First agenda and a replacement will be announced directly by President Trump soon,” Huston said.
