CNAs [1] are assigned blocks of CVEs and then assign from within that block, but the system only works if there is overall administration of the CVE Program [2].

My concern is that a capture of the administration would become a capture of the entire programme. Looking at the structure, it seems possible that CISA are in a position to prevent any such capture but, given some of the recent positions taken by the US government, we'll need to wait and see how that plays out.
