   character and career.

   One of President Biden’s nominees to the Federal Communications   
   Commission, Gigi Sohn, withdrew from consideration for the job on   
   Tuesday, saying she had faced “unrelenting, dishonest and cruel   
   attacks on my character and my career as an advocate for the public   
   interest.”   
      
   Ms. Sohn’s announcement came shortly after Senator Joe Manchin,   
   Democrat of West Virginia, said he would vote against her nomination,   
   denying her a crucial vote in a closely divided Senate. In a   
   statement, Mr. Manchin said the commission “must remain above the   
   toxic partisanship that Americans are sick and tired of, and Ms. Sohn   
   has clearly shown she is not the person to do that.”
