Overview

  • Jeremy Carl ended his bid to become assistant secretary of state for international organization affairs, citing the lack of unanimous Republican support needed to clear the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
  • Sen. John Curtis, R-Utah, said after last month’s hearing that he would oppose Carl, pointing to what he called anti-Israel views and insensitive remarks about Jewish people.
  • At his February hearing, senators pressed Carl on past statements about “white identity,” the great replacement theory, and comments minimizing the Holocaust; he said some remarks were wrong or regretted.
  • Carl, a senior fellow at the Claremont Institute and a former deputy assistant interior secretary, said backing from President Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio could not overcome the committee math.
  • The vacancy persists for the post that guides U.S. engagement with the United Nations, as advocacy groups and former diplomats had warned Carl’s record could harm U.S. credibility; CNN previously reported he deleted nearly 5,000 social media posts before his nomination.
