Mr. BRAUN. It is essential that the nominee is willing to work with both Democrats and Republicans in a bipartisan fashion.

Elizabeth Watson is currently the executive director of the Congressional Progressive Caucus Center--director of the Congressional Progressive Caucus Center--hardly a springboard of bipartisanship.

During the previous administration, Ms. Watson retweeted posts such as ``White supremacists don't belong in the White House,'' referring to President Trump.

Her past actions have cast doubt on her ability to be impartial and her willingness to work in a bipartisan manner.

My concerns with this nominee are not unique, and there are many other Members that have concerns as well. There should be a vote on this nominee.
