    Senate Commerce Chairman Ted Cruz, R-Texas, told us after the meeting that he expects Roth to get a floor vote “sooner rather than later” and is confident that the Democratic opposition won't hinder her confirmation. “She was voted out of [Senate Commerce] with bipartisan support” because of Fetterman's backing, which bodes well for her path forward, Cruz said.

    Senate Commerce ranking member Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and Communications Subcommittee ranking member Ben Ray Lujan, D-N.M., indicated in interviews that their questions for Trusty will touch on the nominee’s opinions on the FCC’s independence from the Trump administration and Carr’s chairmanship, particularly a series of investigations of broadcasters.
