Senate committee delays vote on Biden's FAA nominee.

The Senate committee postponed the vote on Phil Washington's nomination as the head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Washington's nomination has been in question since he was first nominated last year, with some Republicans arguing that he lacks relevant aviation experience. The nomination has become a partisan slugfest that's dragged on for months amid a spate of near misses on runways across the country. Recently, Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, the top Republican on the committee, has pummeled Washington repeatedly, not only for his past and his level of experience, but also because the law requires that the head of the FAA be a civilian.
