BREAKING NEWS: Trump nominates Alex Azar for HHS secretary, replacing Tom Price

President Trump announced that he will nominate Alex Azar as his Health and Human Services secretary, replacing Tom Price who was forced to resign in September amid a scandal over travel expenses.

“Happy to announce, I am nominating Alex Azar to be the next HHS Secretary. He will be a star for better healthcare and lower drug prices!” the president tweeted Monday from the Philippines.
Trump has reportedly been leaning toward an Azar nomination, as he is a veteran of the agency.

There might be some relationship between the 2. When I checked Wikipedia it says that Alex Azar was born in Johnstown, Pa but was raised in Salisbury and he attended Parkside High School.

That is awesome news indeed then!! I've always liked Dr. Azar (the elder) so I'm sure that his son is a chip off the old block.
