Erica Schwartz nominated for CDC
Dr. Schwartz's nomination follows the ouster of Dr. Susan Monarez, who clashed with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccine policy.
The President described Schwartz as 'incredibly talented' and a 'STAR' in a social media post announcing the pick.
If confirmed, she will be tasked with stabilizing an agency that has seen a succession of temporary leaders since Trump returned to office.
The choice signals a potential shift away from the administration's more radical vaccine skepticism as the midterm elections approach.
