Biden's FAA nominee withdraws amid Senate opposition.
TL;DR Summary
Phillip Washington, President Biden's nominee for head of the Federal Aviation Administration, has withdrawn his nomination after facing opposition from both Republicans and Democrats in the Senate due to questions surrounding his qualifications. Washington, the CEO of Denver International Airport, lacked aviation experience, which led to concerns about his ability to lead the FAA. The Senate Commerce Committee failed to gather enough support to move his appointment out of committee, leading to his withdrawal. The FAA has not had a Senate-confirmed administrator for the past year.
