The nominations for President JoeBiden's Democratic appointments to the FCC and Federal Trade Commission advanced at the committee level Thursday.
The Senate Commerce Committee deadlocked 14-14 along partisan lines to advance the confirmation of FCC nominee Gigi Sohn, a prominent liberal activist and a former Democratic staffer at the commission, and FTC nominee Alvaro Bedoya, a Georgetown University law professor and prominent privacy advocate. Still, their nominations will move to the Senate floor, where Vice President Kamala Harris can provide the tiebreaking vote for Democrats if necessary.
Sohn and Bedoya are expected to face hurdles and procedural difficulties getting confirmed on the Senate floor because of Republican opposition to their nominations, causing the deadlocked vote Thursday. She would be the third Democrat on the commission, a five-member agency regulating the TV, radio, and telecommunications industries and ensuring broadband internet access. Democrats have lacked a majority despite Biden becoming president at the beginning of last year.
