Trump nominates 4 to Tennessee Valley Authority board after firing Biden picks

TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY, JUL 1 – Trump nominated four individuals to restore quorum on the Tennessee Valley Authority board after firing three members, with nominations awaiting U.S. Senate confirmation.

  • President Donald Trump nominated four individuals—Hagood, Beaman, Graves, and Jones—to fill TVA board vacancies and restore quorum.
  • Trump removed three Biden-appointed TVA board members since late March, leaving only three of nine seats filled and preventing a quorum for decision-making.
  • Among the nominees, three from Tennessee—including Knoxville attorney Jeff Hagood—await Senate confirmation to fill TVA board vacancies.
  • U.S. Senate must confirm Trump’s nominees, with Blackburn and Hagerty urging swift action due to stalled nuclear project studies.
  • President Trump’s nominations aim to restore TVA’s board quorum to enable key projects, including a $16 billion investment and coal fleet retirement by 2035, impacting over 10 million customers.
