"That’s what he wants to achieve, and we are going to lead with science and the advice they are giving us."The task of helping schools reopen will fall to the CDC, Psaki said, and to Biden’s pick for education secretary, Miguel Cardona, whose nomination was approved Thursday by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.AdvertisementThe panel voted 17-5 in favor of Cardona, who is expected to be approved by the full Senate.
