• President Biden plans to renominate former Federal Communications Commission (FCC) counsel Gigi Sohn to be an FCC member, despite her initial nomination’s failure amid controversy over her previous activism.
• Biden first nominated Sohn for the role in October 2021, but the Senate never held a confirmation vote for her after two nomination hearings as Senate Commerce Committee members scrutinized her history as a director at the now-defunct online streaming service Locast, which retransmitted local television broadcasts.
• Biden plans to announce renomination later in January along with a slew of other renominations, according to the WSJ.
