Commentary: Republicans who backed DeVos have problems with Biden’s DHHS pick? Please
Elections matter, or so the saying goes. But the debate over some of the current president’s nominees makes you wonder just how true that is.

Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., is a thoughtful guy, and while he’s a reliable Republican vote on the vast majority of issues that come before the Senate, he’s independent enough to have voted to convict former President Donald Trump at Trump’s second impeachment trial (but not the first one).
Xavier Becerra does not have experience in the health care sector, but he’s had a top job managing a very big organization – the country’s largest attorney general’s office – and has dealt with health care policy, having helped craft Obamacare as a member of Congress and grappled with the issues surrounding its implementation as California’s AG.

Democrats on the House Oversight Committee want the FDA to allow pregnant women who wish to murder their unborn children to have mifepristone delivered right to their homes. Under normal circumstances, mifepristone must be picked up in person at a pharmacy.
This in-person requirement is meant to protect women who might suffer a life-threatening reaction from taking it at home rather than at the pharmacy where medical workers are available to assist them on-demand.

Several right-wing advocacy groups are campaigning against two of President Joe Biden s nominees, reprising the Right s previous attacks on health care expansion and the Black Lives Matter movement.
Groups including the Judicial Crisis Network (JCN), the Heritage Foundation s political arm, and the recently established Americans for Public Trust (APT) are spending millions of dollars on TV and digital ads that began running on Feb. 19. The groups are reportedly trying to repeat the tactics and successes of the Right s advocacy efforts to get Donald Trump s Supreme Court nominees confirmed, efforts led by JCN and other groups in the network of former Federalist Society executive Leonard Leo.
