Democrats Force Senate to Delay Bolton Vote
The Senate failed to reach the 60 vote threshold 56-42 to advance John Bolton’s confirmation as UN ambassador causing a late start and a delay until at least June after Memorial Day recess. Democratic objections cite White House information blocks and Bolton’s style. Republican Frist called the move a filibuster while White House stressed majority support for Bolton.
