US EditionTrump nominee for State Department role drops out after his race comments jeopardized confirmation
Jeremy Carl withdrew after failing to secure unanimous Republican support due to past racist and antisemitic comments, blocking his confirmation for a key State Department role.
- On March 10, Jeremy Carl, President Donald Trump's nominee for assistant secretary of state for international organizations, withdrew after bipartisan backlash stalled his confirmation.
- Committee math — a 12-10 GOP majority requiring unanimous GOP support — blocked advancement as Jeremy Carl, nominee, faced bipartisan criticism over inflammatory statements and the discredited 'great replacement' theory.
- Under questioning at his February hearing, Carl said he did not remember some comments and regretted others, including Holocaust minimization remarks, and Sen. Chris Murphy called him a 'legit white nationalist.'
- Carl framed his exit as political reality, thanking Trump and Rubio, and said, 'Unfortunately, at this time this unanimous support was not forthcoming,' accepting that political reality, he added.
