Trump's Maha agenda stalled as top CDC and surgeon general roles sit empty
The Trump administration’s “Make America healthy again” (Maha) agenda appears to be stalled as two of the government’s most influential public health positions sit empty.
Donald Trump has yet to nominate a permanent director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), leaving an agency that has been plagued by turmoil for the past year without a leader. At the same time, the president’s controversial pick for surgeon general, Casey Means, remains in limbo as her nomination stalls in the Senate.
The CDC has now been without a Senate-confirmed director for more than 210 days, the maximum length of time an acting head can manage an agency under federal law.
Jay Bhattacharya – who also runs the National Institutes of Health (NIH) – has served as interim chief of the CDC since February, and is expected to continue overseeing the agency through a delegation of authority by the health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr, according to statements from both the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and White House.
