The Hill: Pompeo faces pivotal vote

Secretary of State nominee Mike Pompeo is facing a pivotal vote on the Foreign Relations Committee Monday that will show to what extremes Democrats are willing to go to fight President Trump.

Democrats are mulling a bold and unusual strategy to bottle Pompeo’s nomination up in committee, but the gambit doesn’t yet have full buy-in from the Democratic caucus. Some centrists facing tough reelection races are worried about being labeled obstructionists.
