White House withdraws Jared Isaacman's NASA administrator nomination amid scrutiny over ties to Elon Musk.

The White House is set to withdraw Jared Isaacman's nomination to become NASA's administrator just before a Senate vote. Isaacman, a commercial astronaut and CEO of Shift4 Payments, faced scrutiny due to his ties to Elon Musk, a former Trump administration advisor. The move comes amid concerns over Isaacman's alignment with the administration's goals, and NASA has been without a Senate-confirmed leader since January 2020.
