TL;DR Summary

President Biden's nominees are facing difficulties in the Senate, with two high-profile hopefuls withdrawing in the past month alone. The president's Labor Department pick, Julie Su, is expected to face opposition from Republicans in the coming weeks. The administration is also in danger of having to abandon a judicial nominee due to tepid Democratic support. The Pentagon promotions are being stalled by a Republican senator, and the judicial appointments are delayed due to a senior Democratic senator's extended absence. The tension between the narrowly divided Senate and the administration is highlighted by the withdrawal of Phil Washington, tapped to lead the Federal Aviation Administration, due to a GOP campaign against him.
