On Wednesday, she spent time with both Republican and Democratic lawmakers on Capitol Hill. She is listening to concerns, with the goal of convincing critics that"things will be tangibly different."
Cohen, a Democrat, taps into her previous role as North Carolina's secretary of health and human services when she works with politicians. One of her goals when she started in that position in 2017 was to work with conservatives to expand Medicaid in the state. She was also the face of daily Covid briefings. Her down-to-earth guidance was met with little political pushback.
