Biden DOJ nominee Vanita Gupta’s committee vote ends in tie after heated Senate meeting
Fox News
The Senate Judiciary Committee was split evenly over President Biden's nomination of Vanita Gupta to be associate attorney general, the third-highest position in the Department of Justice.
"I assure the chairman that what comes around goes around," Cotton warned when the roll call votes were given. Cotton was one of many Republicans who delivered speeches illustrating why they were against Gupta's nomination. He referred to testimony she delivered in the past, in which she stated that all Americans held implicit biases and racial biases. Cotton said that during her confirmation hearing he asked who she held biases against, and she responded by noting that there are stereotypes she holds but said everyone can manage these biases if they acknowledge them.More Related News
