J.D. Vance won’t say if FDIC nomination will be held up

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-Ohio) won’t say whether the Biden administration’s nominee to lead the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. would be impacted by GOP threats to block the swift confirmation of personnel.

Senate Democrats and the White House have an extremely narrow window to secure the confirmation of Christy Goldsmith Romero to be the next FDIC chair before the August recess. At this point, aides fear that any delay could imperil the nomination.
