"Biden Bypasses Senate Confirmation for John Kerry's Replacement, Moderate Dems Stay Silent"

President Biden's decision to appoint John Podesta as the replacement for climate czar John Kerry without Senate confirmation has drawn criticism from top Republicans, who argue that Podesta's appointment should have been subject to Senate scrutiny. Moderate Senate Democrats have remained silent on the issue, with several lawmakers declining to comment when contacted by Fox News Digital. Podesta's history with Chinese officials and his role in implementing green energy programs have also come under scrutiny, as critics question the transparency and accountability of the Biden administration's climate policy.
