FAA nominee's confirmation delayed as Senate committee fails to vote.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's last-minute concerns have forced the Senate Commerce, Science & Transportation Committee to delay the confirmation vote for President Biden's pick to lead the Federal Aviation Administration, Phil Washington. If Sinema's concerns hold, Washington's prospects of getting confirmed as FAA administrator are close to zero, dealing a significant blow to the Biden administration's immediate plans to address delayed flights and near-misses on runways. Democratic officials are scrambling to address Sinema's issues and determine if they are fixable.
