See here. Don’t hold your breath on either these two nominees getting a hearing any time soon or Republicans putting forward two nominees of their own for the zombie commission. From my conversations with some influential Republicans, it sounds like the view is that the EAC is a failed experiment and nothing should be done to revive it.

The House voted again this week to get rid of the agency. No reason to expect Democrats in the Senate to go along with that, but no reason to think anything will happen in the short term to revive the agency either.
