Senate committee postpones vote on Biden's FAA nominee.

The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation has delayed its vote on Phillip Washington's nomination to lead the Federal Aviation Administration. Washington, who was nominated by President Biden in July, is chief executive of Denver International Airport. Republican senators argue that Washington is unqualified, while unions representing 75,000 flight attendants, and other supporters, back his nomination. The White House reiterated its backing of Washington on Wednesday, saying in a statement that "the FAA needs a confirmed Administrator, and the President’s nominee, Phil Washington, has the right qualifications and experience for this role.”
