Trump to give Republicans a 3-1 FCC majority, isn't filling empty Democratic seat
摘要
特朗普提名共和党人丹妮尔·图曼·塞弗斯出任联邦通信委员会（FCC）委员，这将使共和党在委员会中形成3比1的多数优势，打破历史上总统所属政党仅保持一票多数的惯例。目前FCC在特朗普第二任期内以2比1的共和党多数运作，空缺席位未填补。塞弗斯现任FCC主席布伦丹·卡尔的资深法律顾问，需经共和党控制的参议院确认后方可上任。
The Federal Communications Commission has been shorthanded throughout President Trump's second term, but it's about to get a new commissioner. Unsurprisingly, Trump is breaking a historical norm with a nomination that would give Republicans a 3-1 advantage on the FCC.
Historically, the president and Senate worked together to ensure that the president's party maintained only a one-vote majority. Normally, the president's party has three FCC members while the minority party has two.
Instead of the typical 3-2 split, the FCC has operated with a 2-1 Republican majority during Trump's second term. On Friday, Trump nominated Republican Danielle Thumann Severs to take one of the empty spots. Thumann Severs, a lawyer, has been working as FCC Chairman Brendan Carr's senior counsel. She must be confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate before being sworn in as a commissioner.
