Republican US Senator Judd Gregg is withdrawing as President Barack Obama’s nominee for commerce secretary. He said he had found there were “irresolvable conflicts” on issues including Mr Obama’s economic stimulus package and the country’s census.
He has already lost four nominees for senior posts.
Tom Daschle, who was to become the new secretary of health, and Nancy Killefer, Mr Obama’s choice to oversee budget and spending reform, both pulled out last week over questions about their payment of taxes.
