Phillip Washington, Biden's choice to head the Federal Aviation Administration, withdrew his nomination following criticism.
Cruz, the ranking Republican on the committee, had repeatedly attacked Washington's resume, saying he had"zero aviation experience" and needed a waiver from rules requiring civilian leadership to head the FAA. The Transportation Department's general counsel said Washington was fully qualified and did not need a waiver, Reuters reported.
Ranking Member Ted Cruz speaks at a hearing with the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee on Capitol Hill on March 01, 2023 in Washington, DC. The committee met to discuss the nomination of Phillip A. Washington to be Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration.
