GOP Pressure Campaign Derails Biden's Nominees.

Two of President Biden's nominees for top administration posts, Phillip Washington for the Federal Aviation Administration and Gigi Sohn for the Federal Communications Commission, have withdrawn their nominations due to Republican pressure campaigns and lack of support from moderate Democrats. The politically charged environment and Democrats' narrow majority in the Senate have put Biden's picks under increased pressure. The withdrawals have consequences for the FAA and FCC, which lack confirmed leaders, and hinder Biden's internet agenda. The White House has confirmed over 800 nominees so far, but many were pushed over the line by a tiebreaking vote from Vice President Harris.
