White House holds off on CDC pick as search for permanent chief continues - The Washington Post
Overview
The White House had paused naming a permanent CDC director while an acting official led the agency, a delay that contributed to uncertainty about CDC operations. That pause has been addressed with the nomination of Erica Schwartz, even as the administration recently withdrew its surgeon general nominee Casey Means and picked Nicole Saphier instead. The reported departure of acting NIAID head Jeffery Taubenberger adds to turnover in federal public-health leadership and may deepen instability as agencies seek permanent leaders and face Senate scrutiny.
