Progressives want President Joe Biden to go big for FCC chair. Does President Biden?
Without the fear of Republican obstruction, tech and public interest advocates have begun pushing for President Joe Biden to act quickly to fill out the Federal Communications Commission. They say the president has come at a "critical opportunity" to pick a "bold" choice. President Biden can go one of two ways to fill out the FCC. He could elevate Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel to become the permeant chair of the agency, or he could nominate someone who would come in with the expectation that they would become the chair. Any pick would have to go through a Senate confirmation process, but with Democratic control, it is likely they would be confirmed. He will need to pick someone he is confident can make it through the process.
