Is Democratic Opposition To Bridenstine Wavering?

This is not a NASA Website. You might learn something. It's YOUR space agency. Get involved. Take it back. Make it work—for YOU.

NASA Watch: Your support is needed, support independent journalism.
Thank you for whatever support you can provide. We recently launched this upgraded website which will allow us to expand our coverage. But the design and hosting come at cost, as does adding new services. We're also going looking to add new journalists as we expand.
We'll send a verification code to %EMAIL%.
I agree with the NASA Watch tweets. I get that this guy is not Nelson’s or Rubio’s first choice, but neither one is president. I don’t view space as a Trump priority so if they block him, the post may remain open, severely damaging NASA. Even if Trump appoints a new admin, by the time he or she comes up for a vote, the Dems may control Congress. Yeah Bridenstine may not be everyone’s first choice, buy someone is better than no one.
Having lived through Daniel Goldin and Mike Griffin, I believe there are some who would disagree.
The possible government shutdown is sucking all the O2 out of the air in Washington. Democrats are much more concerned about that than NASA right now.
