Hi Manu. Not sure what you mean about 1925...in 2005 John Bolton failed to secure committee recommendation as UN ambo nomineehttps://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/29/us/politics/john-bolton-national-security.html …

Yep - but never for a Secretary of State nominee. Senate historian’s office says since 1925, there have been no instances of a Secretary of State nom receiving an unfavorable vote in committee. Before then, committee business often done in closed session - so no accurate records
-
Thanks for clarifying! Wasn't clear whether you meant sec state or nominees generally.

Forgive me for the dumb question but does the committee’s thumbs down kill his nomination or is it little more than a negative Yelp review?
-
I believe that the Majority Leader can allow for any nomination to move to the full Senate if they so choose. It's just very rare and they usually go along with the committee's vote. So yes, glorified Yelp review, especially with McConnell at the helm

@JoeManchinWV@clairecmc@DougJones do not forsake your party. Take the recommendation of the committee and vote NO on Pompeo.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Don't call them "moderate." There's nothing "moderate" about supporting Pompeo for any Senate-confirmed post, it is an extremely right-wing position to take that normal Americans do not support.

Let's insure a Republican Senate with a purity test. Yay.

I see what you are saying, but if democrats in red states are so afraid that if they vote with democrats on important issues they won't get re-elected,we may as well have republicans in those seats.
