Quick Glance: Biden's pick for FCC resigns, saying the agency will "remain sidelined"
- WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) - The U.S. Gigi Sohn, President Joe Biden's nominee for a key fifth seat on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), resigned on Tuesday, dealing a blow to Democrats who have been unable to seize control of the telecom regulator for more than two years.
