White House silent on if it's confident Biden's beleaguered ATF nominee will be confirmed by Senate
'The president gets to pick who he wants to nominate,' Psaki said in April.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.
David Chipman, Biden's pick to lead the ATF, has been in the hot seat throughout his Senate confirmation process as a slew of lawmakers and organizations have come out in opposition to his nomination.
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.
