The US Senate voted on the 5th to confirm Erica Schwartz as the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ending a situation where the agency had no official head for nearly a year. On the same day, the US Senate confirmed Schwartz's nomination with 51 votes in favor and 44 against. The voting results were basically divided according to party affiliation. Schwartz served as the US Deputy Medical Director and was nominated by President Trump as the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in April of this year.
