Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), head of the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee, said he will not schedule a confirmation hearing for President Joe Biden’s nominee Richard Glick for a second term as one of the nation’s top energy regulators.

Glick needs to be approved by the full senate to continue as chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).
