Joe Biden’s consideration of Hillary Rodham Clinton for the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations is being met with a big N-O from Senate Republican insiders.
One key aide told Secrets that it is “doubtful” the former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee would even get a confirmation vote in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
And even if she did, and the GOP still controlled the Senate, it is very unlikely that it would win a full Senate OK.
Another top aide said her chances of getting approved are “slim to none.”
As the report of Biden’s consideration of Clinton spread, Republican chatter both rejected her and nodded approvingly that it would be “quite a gift to get Hillary back,” said one source.
A GOP campaign operative added, “Christmas comes early, because if Joe Biden nominates Hillary Clinton, Republicans will get to run against Nancy Pelosi, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and now Hillary Clinton, which essentially guarantees that we win the House in 2022.”
But a nomination would revive her initial story about of the murderous attack on the U.S. station in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012 and her famous comment at a Senate investigative hearing when discussing the cause of the killings of Americans, “What difference at this point does it make?”
It would also lead to another investigation into her private email server used while she was at State, the aides said.
