Just hours after the Senate confirmed her Wednesday evening, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer asked the chamber to reverse itself and deleted a tweet praising Wormuth’s confirmation, Defense News reported.
“As in executive session, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate vitiate the previous action on Executive Calendar 135,” Schumer (D-NY) said on the Senate floor.
The chamber then adjourned for the night.
On Thursday, Schumer asked for the motion to reconsider be removed and that Wormuth’s nomination be approved.
He later tweeted that she had been confirmed but the post did not include an explanation of what happened to temporarily derail the confirmation.
