President Obama’s science adviser and NOAA nominee aren’t the only ones getting held up by mysterious Senate Republican concerns.
As Bloomberg reported on Friday, two nominees to join Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers — Austan Goolsbee and Cecilia Rouse — have also stalled amid anonymous GOP objections.
But that delay could come to an end as soon as this week, according to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY). He told reporters today that “we’re going to have a discussion of the nominees” and “they probably will be confirmed later this week.”
