Senate committee postpones vote on whether to advance CDC director nominee
The Senate health committee postponed a vote on Dr. Erica Schwartz's nomination to lead the CDC due to a family emergency affecting Republican attendance. Schwartz faces scrutiny over resisting political pressure, and the CDC has experienced leadership turmoil since President Donald Trump returned to office. The committee also delayed a vote on Sean Kaufman's nomination for another health leadership role.
