Two years after being elected, President Joe Biden will finally put his imprint on the largest federal agency in the Tennessee Valley.
In a voice vote Wednesday, the U.S. Senate confirmed six new directors nominated by Biden for the board that governs the Tennessee Valley Authority. The vote came just a few days before Congress adjourns for the year and averts a threatened loss of a board quorum for TVA to make major business decisions within the next couple of weeks.
