Cain's nomination faces uphill climb

Trump's plan to nominate Herman Cain to the Federal Reserve Board faces a steep climb with GOP senators.

Trump said Thursday that he intends to tap Cain, a former Republican presidential candidate and corporate executive, as he moves to stock the central bank with loyalists.

While GOP senators have been largely supportive of Trump’s previous financial nominees, even those with similarly unconventional résumés, there are early signs that Republicans could balk at the president’s latest pick.

Overshadowing his potential nomination are allegations of sexual harassment that Cain has denied, but which derailed a 2012 presidential campaign.

The last paragraph Trump considers a plus.
