Senate Rejects Paul Ingrassia Nominee

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Trump's nominee Paul Ingrassia won't be confirmed, though he has a Thursday hearing.
Ingrassia faces accusations of racist and antisemitic messages and sexual harassment investigations.
GOP senators Rick Scott, Ron Johnson, and James Lankford oppose Ingrassia despite a 53-47 Senate majority.
Rand Paul defers Ingrassia's decision to the White House, which hasn't commented.
Rejecting Ingrassia would be a rare Senate rebuke of Trump, possibly causing a public hearing spectacle.
