Story summary
- President Donald Trump nominated Danielle Thumann Severs as a third Republican FCC commissioner.
- The FCC includes Republican Chair Brendan Carr, Republican Commissioner Olivia Trusty and Democrat Anna Gomez, forming a three-member quorum.
- If Severs is confirmed, the commission could meet quorum without Gomez, letting Trump fire the lone Democrat, though former staffer Blair Levin warned that such a move could harm legitimacy and may breach the Communications Act.
