Ms. Raimondo’s rise to a top pick for the role comes as New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is no longer a leading candidate for HHS secretary, according to Politico. Ms. Grisham reportedly recently turned down an offer from President-elect Biden’s staff to run the Interior Department, which sources told Politico hurt her candidacy for HHS secretary and other jobs in the administration.
President-elect Biden is expected to announce his pick for HHS secretary next week.
David Kessler, MD, another co-chair of the COVID-19 advisory board, may be chosen to lead the Food and Drug Administration, sources told Bloomberg. President-elect Biden reportedly is also considering Joshua Sharfstein, MD, a former FDA official, for the role.
