The nominee to be U.S. Ambassador to Germany is still stuck in confirmation purgatory:
Sen. McConnell asked consent to confirm Richard Grenell as Ambassador to Germany.
Sen. Merkley objected, saying he cannot in good faith support a nominee who has a lengthy track record of tweets attacking prominent Democratic and prominent Republican nominations.
