Senators confirmed Erica Schwartz as the CDC’s next director in a 51‑44 vote largely along party lines, with Sen. Tim Kaine crossing party lines to support her; Schwartz brings decades of federal service and will lead the agency after a year without a confirmed leader, amid vaccine-policy debates and ongoing disease outbreaks.
