WASHINGTON — Vice President Kamala Harris cast the tie-breaking vote Wednesday to break a deadlock in the Senate over yet another radically progressive Biden nominee.

Federal Trade Commission (FTC) nominee Alvaro Bedoya can now head to a confirmation vote after Harris broke the 50-50 tie in the senate, though he did not receive enough votes in the committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation to be recommended favorably, lacking support from Republicans.

Neither did Gigi Sohn, Biden’s Federal Communications Commission (FCC) nominee, who Biden nominated for an FCC seat in October. But Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is expected to use the same procedural process, the discharge petition, to again bypass Republican opposition and advance Sohn’s nomination.
