The U.S. Senate confirmed Olivia Trusty as commissioner for the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday, marking a shift in agency staffing that gave commissioners nominated by President Donald Trump a majority of decision-making power. The move followed resignations of two commissioners earlier this month, each of whom had been nominated under Republican and Democratic administrations.
Trusty, nominated by President Donald Trump earlier this year, received her confirmation nod by a vote of 53-45, split along party lines with one Democrat, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), voting in favor of her confirmation. The commission now consists of two Republican members with Trusty and FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, alongside lone Democrat commissioner Anna Gomez, who was appointed by President Joe Biden in 2023.
