                   JULIE SU'S IMPERILED CONFIRMATION

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Mr. Speaker, Julie Su has now exceeded the previous record 
for the longest duration between a Presidential Cabinet nomination and 
a confirmation--when the same party controls the White House and the 
Senate--since 1887.
  It is no surprise that Axios even dubbed her as ``Biden's forever 
nominee.''
  That is not a title, and certainly not an accolade worthy of a gold 
star or pat on the back. For months on end, her nomination has 
languished before the Senate. This is a telltale sign that she does not 
have the votes.
  One doesn't need to be an expert in reading tea leaves to see that 
her nomination is on life support.
  Mr. Speaker, I will offer some much-needed advice to the Biden 
administration: rip the Band-Aid off already and pull Julie Su's 
nomination.
