Three presidential picks so far this year withdrew because they lacked enough support in the Commerce Committee, where there's four Democrats up for reelection in swing states next fall.
In addition to Carlson, the nominations for Biden’s FAA administrator Phil Washington and FCC Commissioner Gigi Sohn both faltered in the Commerce Committee. Tester put it this way: “I could blame it on Cruz, but I don’t know that to be the truth.”
“The Senate has defeated three non-judicial Biden nominees,” Cruz said. “All three had been in the Commerce Committee.” said in an interview that each nominee’s circumstances were different, calling Carlson’s withdrawal a “surprise” and Sohn’s defeat earlier this year less so: The administration “knew exactly what was going to happen,” Cantwell said. “We tried to fight for her. We didn’t have the votes.
The American Accountability Foundation, a conservative opposition research group run by a former staffer for Cruz’s 2016 presidential bid, took credit for helping dismantle Sohn and Washington’s nominations. The White House official blamed “an onslaught of unfounded Republican attacks” for Washington’s defeat and said Sohn “would have been a strong FCC commissioner.”
