Senate Majority Whip Dick Durban admitted publicly Monday that “there are a lot of issues” with Joe Biden’s ATF nominee, David Chip, according to a story published by Politico.

The Senate has yet to do anything with Chipman’s nomination, which stalled in committee.

Two Democratic Senators from extremely pro-gun states — Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Jon Tester (D-Mont.) — have yet to announce how they will vote.

Durbin admitted that the vote “is not where we want it yet, but there’s always a chance,” according to Politico.

Chipman is a lifelong anti-gun advocate who retired after 25 years in the ATF. He currently works for the anti-gun group, Giffords, as a senior policy advisor — the same position he held at Everytown.

Chipman has said ARs should be banned, and that gun buyers who fail background checks should be arrested.
