Reading the Rosenworcel Tea Leaves

President Donald Trump officially sent to the Senate Jessica Rosenworcel's renomination to be a commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission on June 15. The former Democratic commissioner will reclaim the seat she was forced to leave in January after the Senate failed to confirm her to a new term. Some had privately wondered if Rosenworcel might be in line for Democratic Commissioner Mignon Clyburn's seat, with its full five-year term, but the White House said that Rosenworcel will fill her old seat, a term that runs from July 1, 2015 to June 30,2020.
