## Executive GIST (TL;DR)
- The Senate health committee approved two Trump administration health nominees: Erica Schwartz for director of the **CDC** and Sean Kaufman for assistant secretary for preparedness and response (**ASPR**). - Schwartz’s nomination was supported by all Republicans on the committee and by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.); other Democrats opposed her confirmation. - Kaufman received unanimous Republican support on the committee; all Democrats on the panel voted against him. - Committee Chair Bill Cassidy (R-La.) set aside earlier reservations and endorsed both nominees, citing the need to strengthen pandemic preparedness amid current public health threats. - Cassidy said he agreed to back Kaufman after HHS officials promised unspecified personnel changes and a restriction that the ASPR leader not be involved in vaccine policy decisions. - Kaufman has a history of past public remarks questioning vaccine safety and opposing infant hepatitis B vaccination; he has acknowledged making “stupid and irresponsible” comments and endorsed vaccines in his opening statement. - Schwartz previously served as deputy surgeon general in the first Trump administration and described experience scaling up drive-through Covid-19 testing and military health roles during her hearing. - Cassidy expressed continued concern about a CDC website change under HHS that raised questions about a vaccine-autism link and said the administration had committed to removing vaccine misinformation from that site. - The nominations move to a full Senate vote and are likely to be confirmed, according to the report. - The approvals are described as a political win for President Trump and HHS Secretary Kennedy amid vacancies in public health leadership and ongoing outbreaks such as measles and an Ebola situation in parts of Africa. - Cassidy indicated he could hold up future nominees, and his remaining time on the Hill is limited after losing his reelection bid; other pending nominees include Nicole Saphier for surgeon general and Chris Klomp for HHS deputy. - The article was updated with additional comments from Cassidy.

The vote on Erica Schwartz for CDC director was approved by all Republicans and by Tim Kaine (D-Va.), with other Democrats opposed. Sean Kaufman won support from all Republicans to be assistant secretary for preparedness and response, and all Democrats were opposed.

But Kaufman’s fate had been more of a question mark, after[ Cassidy clashed with him during his confirmation hearing](https://www.statnews.com/2026/07/15/bill-cassidy-sean-kaufman-confirmation-clash-mrna-hepatitis-b-vaccines/) over his past remarks questioning vaccine safety, which were [first reported by STAT](https://www.statnews.com/2026/07/10/sean-kaufman-hhs-nominee-past-statements-question-vaccine-safety/). But on Thursday, Cassidy said he would approve Kaufman. “America is facing serious public health challenges,” Cassidy said, naming vaccine-preventable diseases and an [Ebola outbreak](https://www.statnews.com/2026/07/30/health-news-ebola-outbreak-nears-milestone-but-vaccine-close/) in parts of Africa. He said there’s a need to strengthen the nation’s pandemic preparedness. Their nominations now move to the full Senate floor, where they are likely to be confirmed. Advertisement Echoing his decision to support Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in February 2025, Cassidy once again relied on promises from officials at the Department of Health and Human Services to explain his vote for Kaufman. He said he agreed to back Kaufman after HHS officials—Cassidy didn’t say who—agreed to unspecified personnel changes, and to a restriction that the ASPR leader not be involved in vaccine policy decisions. Kennedy has broken someof the promises he apparently made to Cassidy to win his support – and it’s not clear why the Louisiana senator is choosing to trust him once again. The broken promises include firing a panel of vaccine advisers and handpicking a number of replacements, including some vaccine skeptics.

That’s on top of changes [Kennedy made to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website](https://www.statnews.com/2025/11/20/cdc-vaccine-safety-website-promotes-debunked-autism-link/) that reversed the agency’s stance that vaccines do not cause autism. Last week, Cassidy said that HHS had agreed to revise the website, but, as of Thursday, it still raises unsupported questions about a possible link between shots and the disorder. Cassidy criticized the minimal changes as “almost an insult to the American people” in a recent CNN interview and suggested Thursday that more adjustments would be coming. “The administration is committed to continuing the work to remove vaccine misinformation from that website. This is something again that I’ll pay close attention to,” he said Thursday. The approvals are a win for President Trump and for Kennedy, whose department has been plagued by vacancies in key public health roles as the country confronts a number of public health crises, including [measles outbreaks](https://www.statnews.com/2026/07/24/measles-cases-surpass-2025-total-national-vaccination-rate-now-below-key-threshold/) and a [foodborne parasite](https://www.statnews.com/2026/07/24/health-news-new-separate-cyclospora-diarrhea-outbreak/). Cassidy did say he could hold up future health nominees, though his time on the Hill is limited. He [lost his reelection bid](https://www.statnews.com/2026/05/17/bill-cassidy-loses-louisiana-primary-after-maga-maha-opposition/) this year following public criticism from Trump and Kennedy, who blamed the senator for blocking their Make America Healthy Again agenda.

Chris Klomp, a top Kennedy adviser and a seemingly trusted conduit between Kennedy and the White House, has also been nominated to be Kennedy’s second-in-command. Cassidy has called the [pick “encouraging.”](https://x.com/SenBillCassidy/status/2070321226614964382) Schwartz was deputy surgeon general during the first Trump administration. During her confirmation hearing, she spoke about scaling up drive-through Covid-19 testing during the pandemic as well as her experience in health roles in the U.S. military. Cassidy repeatedly pressed her during the hearing on how she might stand up to political pressure from Kennedy or Trump, a question she mostly avoided answering. “After speaking with Dr. Schwartz again after the hearing, reviewing the transcript, and speaking to those who have served with her and know her well, I’m confident that she knows what she is doing,” Cassidy said last week. Kaufman has previously served as a CDC adviser and co-founded Safer Behaviors, a health care consulting firm focused on biosecurity. In a series of posts over the last five years, including at least one now-deleted post, Kaufman questioned the safety of vaccines, argued against giving infants the hepatitis B shot, and made the case that the shot may be linked to an increase in autism cases. Decades of research has not found a connection between vaccines and the prevalence of autism. Cassidy heavily criticized Kaufman for these remarks during the hearing, and Kaufman endorsed vaccines during his opening statement. Kaufman said some “stupid and irresponsible things” about vaccines, Cassidy said Thursday. “He has owned up to that in his conversations with me.” _This story has been updated with additional comments from Cassidy._ [CDC](https://www.statnews.com/topic/cdc/), [Congress](https://www.statnews.com/topic/congress/), [Donald Trump](https://www.statnews.com/topic/donald-trump/), [HHS](https://www.statnews.com/topic/hhs/), [Policy](https://www.statnews.com/topic/policy/), [public health](https://www.statnews.com/topic/public-health/), [RFK Jr.](https://www.statnews.com/topic/rfk-jr/) [Submit a correction request](https://www.statnews.com/contact/?how_can_we_help_=Editorial%20Correction%20Request)[Reprints](https://www.parsintl.com/publications/stat/) 1. ![](https://www.statnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Chelsea-Cirruzzo-avatar-round-80x80.png) [Chelsea Cirruzzo](https://www.statnews.com/staff/chelsea-cirruzzo/) 1.
