Senate Majority Whip John Thune said the Fed hopeful’s controversial comments will test Republican support.
“I think I’m going to be on the Fed. By the way, the President and the White House economics team’s totally behind me,” Moore said on CNBC on Tuesday.
For now, Republicans do not view Moore as objectionable as Cain. But that doesn’t mean they are exactly pushing for him to move forward either. Moore has said he would bow out if it would cost Republicans seats in the Senate. Ernst as well as GOP senators like Cory Gardner of Colorado, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Susan Collins of Maine, and Martha McSally of Arizona are up for reelection in swing states next year, and at least two of them would have to support Moore for him to be confirmed.“I look forward to talking to Stephen Moore and having a discussion on his ability and background and suitability,” Gardner said in an interview.
