Top House Dems fall in behind Haaland as their recommendation for Biden's DOI pick

House Democratic leaders on Wednesday voiced support for Rep. Deb Haaland (D-N.M.) to be the next Interior Secretary, a move that would leave the party with an even slimmer margin.

Haaland has emerged as the leading contender for the post and has support from progressive groups, who have feared she might not be picked because of the slim House majority Democrats have after the party lost ground in this year's elections.
