President Biden’s nominee to lead the Federal Aviation Administration, Phillip A. Washington, has withdrawn from consideration for the job, according to the White House.
Mr. Washington’s Republican critics in the Senate had argued that he lacked sufficient aviation experience, and they raised questions about his connection to a corruption investigation in Los Angeles. His withdrawal came shortly after the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation said it would delay its vote on Mr. Washington’s nomination, which had been scheduled for Wednesday.
Abdullah Hasan, a spokesman for the White House, said that Mr. Washington had the right qualifications and experience to run the F.A.A. “Unfortunately, an onslaught of unfounded Republican attacks on Mr. Washington’s service and experience irresponsibly delayed this process, threatened unnecessary procedural hurdles on the Senate floor, and ultimately have led him to withdraw his nomination today,” Mr. Hasan said in a statement to The New York Times. Contrast this with Senator Cruz's speech on the Senate Floor https://www youtube com/watch?v=kt3DBWctlB8 So the question - Was he nominated based on his qualifications? Or was he nominated based on his minority status?
