Bolton Battle
Fox News
U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton — who has never been confirmed by the Senate — may be another victim of the midterm elections.
Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid — says Democrats will not allow the Bolton nomination to get a vote in the coming lame duck session and it may never get a vote. A top GOP Senate aide on foreign relations says the Bolton nomination would have to be resubmitted by the White House.
Another senior Republican leadership aide says the president could give Bolton a second recess nomination — but Bolton cannot be paid until confirmed.
