The Senate on Tuesday narrowly confirmed Dr. Robert Califf as commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration an important federal agency without a permanent leader since the whole year time during the coronavirus outbreak.

The vote was 50-46with six Republicans who voted across the aisle to back the senator, and five Democrats were against him. One senator voted present.

“Califf 2.0 will unleash the power of the FDA to drive innovation, enhance health literacy and health equity, broaden access to new drugs, and put a stop to drug company shenanigans, said Peter Pitts, former FDA Associate Commissioner and President of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest. “Now is the time for the FDA to shine.”
