Senate Confirms 3 New FERC Commissioners; Less Support for Dems

In early March, President Joe Biden nominated three new candidates to become Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) commissioners (see Biden Announces 3 New FERC Commissioner Nominees, Finally). The three, two Democrats and one Republican, faced questions from the Senate Energy & Natural Resources Committee in a hearing held a few weeks later (see 3 FERC Nominees on the Hot Seat at Senate Hearing, No Fireworks). Last week, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee overseeing their nominations and appointments voted to advance all three to a full floor vote (see U.S. Senate Energy Committee Approves 3 Biden FERC Nominees). The full vote happened this week, and all three were confirmed.
