US EditionTrump announces new leadership at CDC, nominates Erica Schwartz as director
Schwartz would be the agency’s second full-time director this term as Trump also names three senior leaders amid Senate confirmation concerns.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump nominated Erica Schwartz to lead the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, tapping a former public health leader to stabilize an agency operating under interim leadership.
- Schwartz, a physician, spent over 20 years in uniform serving in the U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard, where she rose to rear admiral and coordinated national COVID-19 responses as deputy surgeon general.
- David Mansdoerfer, a former senior HHS official, praised her record, saying she will "definitely understand the culture of CDC," as Trump also appointed Sean Slovenski and Jennifer Shuford as deputy directors.
- If confirmed, Schwartz would replace acting director Jay Bhattacharya and become the agency's second full-time director this term, following Director Susan Monarez, who was fired after merely four weeks.
- Success hinges on the GOP Senate health committee, chaired by Sen. Bill Cassidy, a physician and vaccination supporter, after the administration withdrew its first nominee, Dave Weldon, over confirmation concerns.
