FEC Unable To Vote After Vice Chairman Resigns

Matthew Peterson, the vice chairman of the FEC, resigned, leaving the agency with only three commissioners, which is below the required four for decision-making. The FEC, responsible for enforcing campaign finance laws, faces operational challenges without a quorum. All current commissioners are serving expired terms, and President Trump has only nominated one new commissioner, James Trey Trainer, who has not been confirmed by the Senate. Ellen Weintraub, the current chair, urged for new nominations to restore the FEC's functionality.
