Three Biden nominees who were too extreme for Senate Democrats
Fox News
President Biden has had three failed nominations so far this Congress after a Democrat-heavy Senate couldn't rally around some of his "extreme" nominees.
It wasn't clear which Democrat or Democrats on the committee wouldn't support Delaney. But they appeared to be swayed by Delaney's actions in 2014, when he represented a private school involved in a high-profile student assault lawsuit and allegedly used "hardball tactics" in an effort to remove the alleged victim's anonymity during the proceedings. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
While the White House insisted Delaney was a highly qualified nominee, he appeared to be weighed down by the outpouring of calls to the committee saying he shouldn’t serve on the bench because of his role in the case. Delaney marks the third nominee from the White House this Congress that has had to withdraw from the process in a Democrat-led Senate.
