CDC director nomination deadline missed

March 25, 2026Helen Branswell

Helen Branswell notes the administration hit the 210-day deadline to nominate a CDC director replacement without naming anyone. She suggests Senate and internal approval constraints may be blocking a nominee.

When Susan Monarez was fired as #CDC director, the administration knew it has 210 days to nominate a replacement.
Today is Day 210 & no nominee.
Finding someone who can gain Senate approval & Sec Kennedy's approval may be proving to be challenging.
