White House silent on if it's confident Biden's beleaguered ATF nominee will be confirmed by Senate
Fox News
President Biden’s nominee to lead the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is in hot water as the White House has yet to say if the administration is confident he will be confirmed.
On Wednesday, the firearms industry group National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) announced that for the first time in its 60-year history, the organization is launching a TV ad targeting Chipman, asserting that Chipman wants to "ban guns." NSSF leaders told Fox News they envision a political purpose lurking behind Biden's choice of Chipman, who previously worked for former Rep. Gabby Giffords' gun control organization. White House press secretary Jen Psaki has not said if the administration is confident Chipman will make it through his confirmation process, saying in April the decision is "up to the Senate."More Related News
