FERC Chair Richard Glick recused himself from a major clean energy order
this week, signaling he may be leaving his position at the regulatory
agency. Former commissioners and agency officials have told POLITICO
that the recusal could be driven by a desire to avoid conflicts of
interest with potential future endeavors. Glick was renominated to FERC
by President Joe Biden after his term expired in June, but has not
received a Senate hearing amid opposition from Sen. Joe Manchin.
POLITICO’s Josh Siegel and Catherine Morehouse discuss the recusal, the
possibility of Manchin changing his mind and how other Democrats are
reacting to a potential FERC split. Plus, a New Jersey town received the
first grant from a new FEMA program to reduce flood risk.
