Four Senate Republicans bailed out Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Monday by voting to advance the nomination of Dr. Robert Califf as the head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The Senate voted to invoke cloture, or limit debate, to advance the confirmation of the head of the FDA for a second time.
The chamber invoked cloture 49-45 after Republicans gave Democrats enough votes to advance the Biden nominee’s confirmation.
Sens. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Mitt Romney (R-UT) voted in favor of advancing Califf’s nomination.
Califf’s nomination was controversial enough for many Democrats that Senate Democrats across the political spectrum voted against Califf, including Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), and Ed Markey (D-MA).
Manchin said, regarding Califf, “That man is horrible.”
Sen. Mike Braun (R-IN) and Manchin wrote an op-ed Monday, urging Biden to withdraw Califf’s nomination to lead the FDA. They said Califf has failed to address the opioid crisis and has strong ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

The usual crew.
Maybe we can give Alaska back to the Russkies, at least we’d get rid of Murkowski.
Strong ties to the pharmaceutical industry.
Shocking.
He was there at the Biden “inauguration” . Not running for re-election so he’s gonna do what derps do best. Backstab.
Thanks again, for nothing, Utah.
Sens. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Mitt Romney (R-UT) voted in favor of advancing Califf’s nomination.
These federal agencies are so thoroughly discredited that I wouldn’t give a sh!t if Bozo the Clown was confirmed as head of the FDA by a unanimous vote.
They are NOT Republicans. They are flying under false flags, completely in line with the communists masquerading as the defunct dummocraps. The dupes who voted these traitors in, without any analysis of what they have been supporting, are idiots who should not have the privilege of voting.
Sens. Roy Blunt (R-MO), Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), and Mitt Romney (R-UT) voted in favor of advancing Califf’s nomination.

American Kleptocracy.
It’s going to be interesting to see what Utah does with Pierre when his term expires.
Assistant Democrats will always assist the Democrats.
STOP ELECTING BUSH LEAGUE REPUBLICANS!
They are going to re-elect him.
Just like South Carolina re-elected Flimsey Grahamnesty TWICE after THREE amnesty votes.
GOPe, once again, snatching RAT defeat from the jaws of victory. They gotta go....
Is Howdy Doody back?
I believe this is why the Republicans support among voters is going to crash.
Asking a question here and hoping someone will provide an answer:
Does the Republican party every kick people out?
That is four more years, isn’t it? That is a very long time given the present circumstances
