Looks like no: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajit_Pai

So, its really Bidens fault at this point. Its an FCC thing, so he has full authority to do whatever the fuck he wants.

Biden just nominates. The senate decides who gets it.

I agree Ajit MiPants is a piece of shit, but I don't hear Biden saying he is going to make Internet a utility anytime soon.

Doesn't matter what he does with regard to FCC appointments since the next guy can just undo it again.
