@InternetArchiveBot this article is wildly biased and should be noted as such. 2600:1009:B1C6:DD79:3EE9:2344:BA84:2020 (talk) 16:11, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

new section

"citing her support of Ajit Pai's telecom policies (which had been rolled back by the Trump administration)" ... Um, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajit_Pai was Trump's FCC chair. If she was being criticized by Republicans, it wasn't because she favored Pai's policies. Perhaps the editor who inserted this text meant Tom Wheeler, the previous FCC Chair. Further, it was lack of support from Democrats in the Senate that sunk her nomination, not just Republicans. Democrats had control of the Senate. RussellSenior (talk) 11:49, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So there was a source for that sentence, but I agree that's completely overblown in the scheme of why she was opposed. I've removed it. Alyo (chat·edits) 14:24, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a citation: ^[1] "ongoing reservations from moderates like Manchin" RussellSenior (talk) 09:31, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a specific change you want to make? That source only supports that idea that Manchin and a very small minority of "moderates", not identified to either party, were opposed. Notably, the sources says one sentence prior that, "The withdrawal marks a blow for Biden and many Senate Democrats who have fought since October 2021 to advance Sohn." It seems pretty clear that support for Gigi largely fell along party lines. Alyo (chat·edits) 13:24, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
