Sen. Hyde-Smith Blocks Biden Judge Pick for Mississippi Over Trans Rights, Soros
The Mississippi Free Press reports that Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith is blocking Biden's nomination of District Attorney Scott Colom to a federal judgeship in Mississippi, citing his support for transgender rights and 2015 support from a PAC funded by George Soros — though Soros never gave to Colom's campaign directly. The White House says Biden will stick with Colom, and the Senate could still confirm him over her objection.
