Maria Cantwell (D-WA), the chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee, <a href=\"https:\/\/communicationsdaily.com\/\">said <\/a>that she will push to renominate Sohn, a radical progressive on technology issues, if Congress\u2019s upper chamber cannot confirm her this congressional session.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">Conservatives have slammed Sohn for threatening to use the federal government to silence conservatives, and Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has said that she has not been honest about her potential business conflicts.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>If the Biden White House moves in another direction to supplant Sohn, Biden could nominate Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) aide Didier Barjon.<\/p>\n<p>However, a Communications Daily report found that Stacey Abrams has been lobbying the White House to be the next FCC nominee for the telecommunications agency. Schumer\u2019s office and Abrams did not comment to Communications Daily regarding the report.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Abrams were to be nominated by the Biden administration, she may face an uphill battle, as most FCC commissioner nominees have strong telecommunications experience.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr was the agency\u2019s general counsel before he became a commissioner. Prior to joining as a commissioner, Jessica Rosenworcel, the FCC chair, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fcc.gov\/about\/leadership\/jessica-rosenworcel\">served <\/a>as a senior communications counsel for the Senate Commerce Committee.<\/p>\n<p>As for Abrams, she has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/11\/07\/nolte-election-denier-stacey-abrams-already-denying-2022-election-results\/\">spent <\/a>most of her time losing to Gov. Brian Kemp (R) during the last two Georgia elections, and she has denied the results of those 2018 and 2022 gubernatorial elections.<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<div class=\"entry-content\">\n<p><i>Sean Moran is a congressional reporter for Breitbart News.
