Biden to Nominate Air Force General as Joint Chiefs Chairman, Facing Senate Confirmation
President Joe Biden is expected to nominate Air Force Gen. C.Q. Brown as the next Joint Chiefs chair, but he will likely face tough questions from the Senate, including on China's possible invasion of Taiwan, Ukraine's fight against Russia, and Pentagon policies on diversity and abortion. Brown, who was confirmed 98-0 as Air Force chief of staff in 2020, is expected to survive the confirmation battle, but he may face delays due to a partisan deadlock over military promotions in the Senate.
