The 5th member was only just appointed earlier this month. So, they only just now have a majority. At least, that’s my understanding.
Confirmed by the Senate. Republicans have been holding up the confirmation for quite some time. Biden nominated Anna Gomez in March of this year (link) and she was only confirmed by the Senate in early September.
Thanks. The latest delays seem to be intentional from the republicans. But march 2023 seems like far too long since January 2021. Does anyone know what happened in 2021 and 2022? I would not be surprised if it’s because of republicans again but I don’t know.
Anna Gomez is the second nominee. The first nominee got tired of waiting for confirmation.
Yea i looked it up and it does seem like they have been trying to make this happen all this time.
Not to mention the previous candidate, Gigi Sohn, rescinded their request after their delays
