The White House has shockingly withdrawn Ann Carlson’s nomination to head the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). President Biden’s pick faced mounting concerns and controversy, leading to her abrupt withdrawal. Senate Republicans expressed serious doubts about Carlson’s past career and her environmentalist agenda, questioning her suitability for the role. The White House provided no specific reason for the withdrawal, leaving Americans to their imaginations for answers. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg praised Carlson’s dedication but failed to address the growing doubts surrounding her nomination. This startling turn of events signals a victory for conservatives who pushed back against Biden’s nominee.
