FDA Nominee Finally Will Get a Senate Vote

FDA Nominee Finally Will Get a Senate Vote-morningconsult: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell filed a motion Thursday clearing the way for a floor vote on the nomination of Dr. Robert Califf to head the Food and Drug Administration. The first vote, a procedural one, is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Feb. 22. If Califf secures the necessary 51 votes, he will easily be confirmed as the new FDA head after a lengthy wait.
