As reported by The Hill and The New York Times, the White House announced on the 31st that it would withdraw the nomination of tech billionaire Jared Isaacman to lead the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The decision to rescind the nomination stems from President Trump's discovery that Isaacman had made contributions to several Democratic candidates. Isaacman, a close associate of Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, has participated in two private space missions with SpaceX. This withdrawal will leave NASA without a permanent leader for the foreseeable future.
