Senate panel likely to reject Pompeo

President Donald Trump's secretary of State pick Mike Pompeo is likely to be rejected by a Senate panel after all its Democrats opposed his nomination. The panel has 11 Republicans and 10 Democrats. He still has a shot at confirmation. Republicans hold 51 of the chamber's 100 seats. With two Republicans opposing, Pompeo would need support from just 1 Democrat if all other Republicans back the nominee.
