Chuck Shumar asked the upper chamber of the Senate to rescind the offer. It's not going to be difficult to connect the dots.

Senate confirms Christine Wormuth as Army secretary--really.
Politico's Connor O'Brien explains why the nomination was temporarily withdrawn by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.
The most important paragraph:
quote | The Senate's about-face Wednesday night stemmed from a procedural hold Sen. Kevin Cramer (D-N.D.) placed on the nomination — a parliamentary tactic that allows a senator to slow down a nominee — over an issue unrelated to Wormuth. Cramer said the Senate mistakenly approved her nomination before he had removed the hold, requiring leadership to backtrack. |
