“The Senate on Wednesday blocked Lauren McFerran’s re-nomination to the National Labor Relations Board, opening the door for Republican control of the board starting next year under President-elect Trump,” The Hill reports.
“Senators voted 49 to 50 against a five-year term for McFerran, the NLRB’s chair, with Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) and Joe Manchin (I-AZ) voting with every Senate Republican, but one, to block it.”
