Senate Invokes Cloture on NTIA Nominee Davidson

The Senate voted 64-30 Monday night to invoke cloture on NTIA administrator nominee Alan Davidson, as expected. The cloture motion sets up a likely Tuesday final confirmation vote for Davidson, Senate aides told us.

If confirmed, Davidson would be NTIA’s first permanent administrator in more than two years. David Redl, the agency’s last permanent head, abruptly resigned in May 2019.
