Democrats are blocking the confirmation of Trump’s nominee for Ambassador to the Holy See

Brian Burch is the president and co-founder of CatholicVote, an organization dedicated to inspiring and mobilizing Catholics toward traditional Catholic teaching.

The Senate Committee on Foreign Relations advanced his nomination to the full Senate for official confirmation in May , but he has yet to be confirmed.

The hold up on Burch ’s confirmation has drawn the ire of Republicans like Eric Schmitt , the senator for Missouri , who slammed Democrats on the Senate floor.
