Public interest advocate Gigi Sohn has withdrawn her nomination for the FCC, ending a three-year effort by the Biden administration to get her appointed. Sohn's withdrew after Sen_JoeManchin said that he would oppose her.
The failure of her candidacy is a blow to the Biden administration's hopes to reinstate net neutrality and implement technology regulations, and it is a significant win for Republicans aiming to slow President Joe Biden's agenda.Sohn's withdrew Tuesday after Sen. Joe Manchin said he would oppose her, making it difficult for her to gain a majority in the Senate.
“It is a sad day for our country and our democracy when dominant industries, with assistance from unlimited dark money, get to choose their regulators,” Sohn told the Washington Post. “And with the help of their friends in the Senate, the powerful cable and media companies have done just that.” "Especially now, the FCC must remain above the toxic partisanship that Americans are sick and tired of, and Ms. Sohn has clearly shown she is not the person to do that," Manchin said in a press statement."For those reasons, I cannot support her nomination to the FCC, and I urge the Biden Administration to put forth a nominee who can bring us together, not drive us apart."
