Dems ready to advance Biden nominee that Republicans accuse of promoting critical race theory

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. D-N.Y., filed cloture on President Biden's nomination of Kiran Ahuja to be the director of the Office of Personnel Management, a procedural step that will like set up a confirmation vote next week for the nominee Republicans accuse of espousing critical race theory.

"Senator Hawley has a hold on Kiran Ahuja’s nomination because of her history promoting radical critical race theorists," Hawley's office said at the time. "These associations merit real scrutiny, especially in light of Ms. Ahuja’s nomination to a role that would allow her to reinstate race-based training sessions throughout the entire federal government." Then this week, the Federal Law Enforement Officers Association came out against Ahuja over her critical race theory history, followed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.
