President Joe Biden has failed to nominate a chairman or fifth commissioner to the Federal Communications Commission, stifling the Democratic agenda at the agency and creating the possibility that Republicans get an opportunity to take over the majority at the end of this year.

The five-member agency, which is in charge of regulating the TV, radio, and telecom industries, along with ensuring broadband internet access, has been missing one commissioner and a full-time chairman since Biden became president at the beginning of this year.
