Out-cue: nominate a replacement]
TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. The NLRB has the power to investigate potential unfair labor practices, meaning its leadership is highly scrutinized by business interests and labor groups.

VERBATIM: The Senate voted down the nominee in a razor-thin vote that hinged on the pivotal rejections of independent Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona. If the nomination had been successful, the board would have had a Democratic majority until 2026. President-elect Donald Trump will now have a chance to nominate a replacement.
