Senate committee reviews Erica Schwartz’s nomination to take over beleaguered CDC

The U.S. Senate committee is reviewing Dr. Erica Schwartz’s nomination to lead the CDC, which has faced leadership instability and significant staff losses. The agency has lost over 3,000 employees and operated under multiple temporary leaders since Trump returned to office. Previous nominees, including David Weldon and Susan Monarez, failed to secure long-term leadership roles.
