U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton\u2019s abrasive performance before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence on Wednesday likely lost him the vote of a \u201cbitterly disappointed\u2019 U.S. senator who has known him for years and was likely to support him, according to a new report. <\/p>\n

Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) was expected to be a lock to vote for Clayon, based on his long-term relationship from his tenure as SEC chair, analyst Ken Dilanian told MS NOW\u2019s \u201cMorning Joe” viewers Thursday morning. <\/p>\n

But that vote may now be gone after Clayton refused to admit that President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential elections, he said. <\/p>\n

MS NOW\u2019s David Rohde said Warner was \u201c in shock\u201d after Clayton’s non-answers and Dilanian agreed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is, once again, a situation where it was shocking, but not all that surprising that Jay Clayton answered the way he did,” said Dilanian. “We’ve all now become familiar with the brief that these people have been given, about what they’re allowed to say and what they aren’t allowed to say in these hearings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then Dilanian explained the source of Warner’s surprise. <\/p>\n

\u201cJay Clayton led the SEC in the first Trump Administration, and he emerged relatively unscathed,\u201d he said. \u201cHe was seen by some Democrats, including Mark Warner… as a much better alternative than, obviously, than Bill Pulte, who is the acting Director of National Intelligence now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was seen as more favorable than even than Todd Blanche, who was the other nominee on the hill for a confirmation hearing yesterday,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

That changed when Clayton refused to admit to Biden’s 2020 victory, Dilanian concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cMark Warner,” he said, “who had prepared possibly to vote in favor of Jay Clayton, was disgusted and has abandoned his support.”<\/p>\n
