This nomination would also give Democratic \u2064appointees a majority at the agency, reigniting the debate over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nyt-gets-heat-for-orwellian-suggestion-biden-admin-appoint-reality-czar\/\" title=\"NYT gets heat for Orwellian suggestion Biden admin. appoint \u2018reality czar\u2019\">net neutrality<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>FCC Nominee Anna\u200d Gomez&#8217;s Confirmation<\/h3>\n<p>FCC nominee Anna Gomez is scheduled to undergo\u2063 a Senate vote on Thursday. Gomez was nominated in May after the withdrawal of the previous\u200c nominee, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-fcc-nominee-on-track-for-confirmation-opening-path-to-net-neutrality-debate\/\" title=\"Biden's FCC nominee set for confirmation, paving way for net neutrality discussion.\">public\u200b interest advocate<\/a> and scholar Gigi Sohn. If Gomez&#8217;s nomination is approved, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel \u200cwould\u2062 have the necessary votes to \u200cenforce net neutrality.<\/p>\n<h3>Procedural Vote\u200c and Potential Impact<\/h3>\n<p>The Senate has planned\u200b a procedural vote on Gomez&#8217;s confirmation on Thursday morning, with a final vote \u2063expected in the early afternoon. Approving\u2062 Gomez would fill a\u200c long-standing vacancy and provide Democrats with enough\u200c votes to \u2064pass new rules.<\/p>\n<h3>Republican Criticism and Gomez&#8217;s \u200bStance<\/h3>\n<p>Sen. \u200dTed Cruz (R-TX), the leading Republican on the Senate Commerce Committee, has expressed concerns about Gomez&#8217;s suitability for the role. However, his criticism has been less aggressive compared to previous \u2064attacks on Sohn. Gomez has stated her support \u2062for reclassifying the internet as Title II, \u2062which would grant the \u2062FCC the \u2062authority to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/official-appointed-by-biden-wanted-to-ban-gas-stoves-memo\/\" title=\"Official Appointed by Biden Wanted to Ban Gas Stoves: Memo\">impose additional regulations<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/n-y-attorney-generals-office-discovers-astroturf-lobbying-scheme\/\" title=\"N.Y.
