Five Democrats buck party lines, oppose Biden banking pick

Five Democratic lawmakers have bucked party lines and come out in opposition to President Joe Biden‘s nominee for the top banking official.

Arizona Sens. Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly, Montana Sen. Jon Tester, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, and Colorado Sen. John Hickenlooper have come out against Saule Omarova, according to Axios. Omarova, a Cornell Law School professor, drew attention after a clip surfaced of her saying oil, coal, and gas companies need to “go bankrupt if we want to tackle climate change.”
