“Yes,” Schumer said, “and I’m looking forward to getting things done for the American people.”
HELP Cmte won’t vote on FDA nom Overton at least until they get back/lame duck. As expected
Cmte spox: “Wednesday’s markup is a continuation of business from last week, so additional [noms] cannot be added…The Cmte will revisit Dr. Overton’s [nom] after the October recess.”
Cassidy declines to comment to reporters after Overton's hearing on whether he was reassured, saying he needs to review what she said
FDA nominee Heidi Overton says MMR vaccine is "not lethal" and is "safe and effective."
Under questioning from Cassidy
Cassidy tells me ahead of FDA hearing, "I’m trying to be neutral in my preconception.”
Says it would "certainly start to be a good sign" if Overton answers vaccine questions the way Surgeon general nominee Nicole Saphier did last week
