The U.S. Senate, by a Roll Call voice vote, has approved the nomination of Olivia Trusty to serve as a Commissioner on the Federal Communications Commission.
The seating of Trusty, which will come in time for the FCC’s June 26 Open Meeting, came despite strong opposition from Democrats to her nomination. Republicans successfully overcame any opposition, voting affirmatively to pair of cloture motions that ended debate and any further delay on action.
