US Senate Confirms Erica Schwartz as CDC Director After Leadership Turmoil
The US Senate confirmed Dr. Erica Schwartz as director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) with a 51-44 vote, largely along party lines. Schwartz is the third Trump administration nominee for the role, following months of leadership instability at the CDC. She becomes the first permanent CDC director in nearly a year, inheriting challenges including a measles resurgence, international Ebola outbreaks, and a major US foodborne illness event. Schwartz emphasized restoring trust through transparency and scientific integrity.
