Americas2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported24m ago
Dr. Heidi Overton, President Donald Trump’s nominee to lead the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), walked a fine line and sidestepped difficult questions regarding vaccines and abortion during a Senate confirmation hearing on Thursday.
Throughout the proceedings, Overton largely dodged inquiries from senators on these contentious healthcare topics.
Her confirmation process requires unified backing, as Overton needs the support of every Republican on the panel if every Democrat opposes her.
