Senate committee defers vote on final Trump TVA nominee Lee Beaman
The Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works deferred a vote on Lee Beaman's nomination to the Tennessee Valley Authority board of directors. Beaman, a major Republican donor, faces scrutiny over his personal, political, and business ties, which have received more attention than other nominees. The TVA board currently lacks a quorum needed to make policy decisions, and Beaman's confirmation alone would not resolve the gridlock as other nominees are also awaiting final votes.
