Democrats and digital rights groups worry that Republicans will try to block any Biden nominee for FCC chairman, effectively hamstringing the agency and delaying the expected reimplementation of Obama-era net neutrality rules.
A GOP victory in just one of the two Senate runoffs in Georgia on Jan. 5 would give Republicans the votes needed to keep the FCC split at two commissioners from each party, making it difficult if not impossible for Democrats to push through any divisive policies. While Biden could elevate one of the two Democrats to FCC chair, a three-vote majority would still be required to implement new rules and regulations.
