The pushback comes after multiple Biden nominees have received criticism over their qualifications from Republicans. Gigi Sohn, Biden’s pick to serve on the Federal Communications Commission, withdrew her nomination in March after a long battle with Republicans who believed she was too radical. Phillip Washington, the president’s choice to head the Federal Aviation Administration, also withdrew his nomination at the end of March after Republicans took aim at his level of experience.
The lawmakers cited a rise in EV mandates across the country, saying those rules would violate the Supreme Court case West Virginia v. EPA, and would cause “vast economic and political significance” requiring “clear congressional authorization.”
