White House reportedly delays Senate vote on Quintenz CFTC nomination
The Senate Agriculture Committee postponed its vote on Brian Quintenz’s nomination to chair the CFTC for a second time, reportedly at the White House’s request. A White House spokesperson said Quintenz remains President Donald Trump’s nominee. Tribal, state and national groups had called for a delay, citing concerns about sports prediction markets and tribal gaming compacts.
The delay leaves uncertainty over CFTC leadership as groups press for action on sports prediction markets.
