Biden's failed ATF nominee David Chipman blames White House

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : King's vote should have come as no surprise to the administration, as he had reportedly told them previously he was not supportive of Chipman's nomination, amid pressure back at home to buck a nominee seen as resistant to gun rights prized in Maine.
55% : 'In the back of my mind, I always thought that there would be a Plan B, but so far there hasn't been,' Chipman said, adding that he often felt like he was 'on an island' amid attacks from gun rights groups.
40% : Gun control advocate and one-time nominee to head the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) David Chipman said this week that the administration had left him alone to fight off attacks from Republicans as they executed a 'failed' strategy to push through his confirmation.
