Washington, UNITED STATES
Xavier Becerra Secretary of Health and Human Services Hearing
Xavier Becerra, secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) nominee for U.S. President Joe Biden, prepares to testify before the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Tuesday, Feb. 23, 2021. Biden's pick to lead HHS gives him a fierce defender of Democratic causes but one without hands-on experience leading a massive federal agency in the middle of an unprecedented public health crisis.
