The committee\u2019s chair, Sen. Bill Cassidy, said a family emergency was affecting the number of Republicans needed to be present to vote yes.<\/p>\n<p>If approved, the 54-year-old Schwartz would become the 22nd director of the Atlanta-based CDC, which is charged with protecting Americans from preventable health threats.<\/p>\n<p>Schwartz faced scrutiny during her confirmation hearing earlier this month about standing up to political pressure, and the committee\u2019s vote was expected to be close. Cassidy, a Louisiana Republican whose support is crucial, was among the senators asking how she might handle pressure from U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. if it conflicted with science-based decision making. <\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Cassidy said he had decided that she can resist such pressure. <\/p>\n<p>The CDC has been in turmoil with leadership changes and staff losses since President Donald Trump returned to office last year. The director position is one of a number of high-level HHS health leadership vacancies, including surgeon general and commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration.<\/p>\n<p>Another open position is assistant secretary for preparedness and response, a position that oversees readiness for public health emergencies and disasters.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/raleighmovingnews.com\/?p=6855\">Man City signs England international Elliot Anderson for $155M<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sean Kaufman has been nominated for the position.

It scheduled to be taken up July 30. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are ongoing conversations with the administration on the path forward for Mr. Kaufman\u2019s nomination,\u201d according to a statement from a committee spokesperson.<\/p>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<p>The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute\u2019s Department of Science Education and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
