Gigi Sohn — President Joe Biden's nominee for commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission — withdrew her name from consideration on Tuesday, the White House confirmed, after three successive unsuccessful nominating attempts by Biden.
Sohn's decision ended some 16 months of attempts to secure enough support, and came just hours after U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced that he "cannot support her nomination" and urged Biden "to put forth a nominee who can bring us together, not drive us apart."
Biden first nominated Sohn in October 2021, but her initial bid to be FCC commissioner stalled after she testified before the Senate Commerce Committee in December of that year. On January 3, 2022, her nomination was returned to Biden.
The president renominated Sohn one day later, on January 4, 2022. Hearings were again held in February 2022, and her nomination was ultimately returned to Biden on the first day of the 118th Congress that started on January 3, 2023.
That same day, Biden nominated Sohn for the third time and another round of hearings were held in February.
All of the White House's attempts were, ultimately, unable to overcome bipartisan opposition to Sohn and she finally, on Tuesday, took herself out of the process rather than face the potential of another renomination.

Another Jewish lesbian as if we need more of those in the Biden regime.
We don’t have many of these...savor the moment.
Her testimony was a ridiculous compendium of lies and obfuscation.
Last time I read through the law of Moses, “Jewish lesbian” would be a contradiction in terms.
Did you see the FAA guy? YIKES! New motto must be “DEI OVER SAFETY!”
Don’t worry Jo Jo. Freaks are a dime a dozen in this country these days. They’ll be another one coming along with the next bus.
Now what about that incompetent unqualified irresponsible guy trying for the FAA?
INDEED that clown pretending to be an FAA candidate. Wonder if he’s EVER sat in the cockpit of ANY plane? Nope.
Man had NO clue what the questions meant.

SAFETY first - Get a pilot for FAA Chief - Get an experienced person with merit to run FCC.
He’s one of the most unqualified people I’ve ever seen
Absolutely clueless
Demographic over ability/experience is the Biden mantra. Why would we expect him to nominate anyone who is not a pervert or a deviant to add to his horrific collection of such creatures?
Can you name a conservative Jewish lesbian?
Is there any qualified and sane person nominated or appointed by the Biden marxist regime in the top positions in our government?
Nope
