Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) said Tuesday afternoon that Stephen Moore would likely be rejected by the Senate if President Trump nominated him to the Federal Reserve Board.
Ernst told reporters she is "very unlikely" to support Moore if he is nominated to the post, adding that several other GOP senators shared her concerns about his potential appointment.
When asked if Moore would be confirmed by the Senate if the chamber were to vote on his nomination on Tuesday, Ernst said, I dont think so.
Ernsts comments come a day after the Republican senator said she was unenthused by Moores potential nomination and criticized him for ridiculous past statements about women.
