RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR and THOMAS BEAUMONT, Associated Press President Joe Biden’s pick for health secretary is taking heat from Republicans for his actions in support of abortion rights. They want to define him and the new administration as out of the mainstream. The Senate Finance Committee deadlocked Wednesday along party lines on the nomination of Xavier Becerra, more of a speed bump than a stop sign. Under the rules, Democrats will take the nomination to a vote by the full Senate, and White House press secretary Jen Psaki says, “We remain confidently behind the nomination.” Becerra is paying a price for defending, as California’s attorney general, some of the nation’s most liberal laws and policies on abortion rights. The battle is also a test for abortion opponents. By a show of force, they’re trying to deny a president who supports abortion rights his choice to run the Department of Health and Human Services with the coronavirus pandemic still untamed.
