Manchin and Sinema Vote Against Biden's NLRB Nominee, Handing Control to Republicans in 50-49 Vote
Dec 11, 2024, 06:51 PM
Senators Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema have voted against the reappointment of Lauren McFerran as chair of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), effectively denying Democrats a majority on the board for the first two years of Donald Trump's incoming term. The vote, which was tied at 49-49 before their decisive 'no' votes, resulted in a 50-49 defeat for Biden's nominee. This outcome has been described as a significant setback for organized labor and progressive policies, with critics arguing that it undermines labor protections for millions of American workers. The decision reflects the broader political shift following the recent election where the American public expressed a desire for change in federal agency leadership.
