Senate Breaks Chuck Schumer’s Blockade: Confirms 48 Trump Nominees at Once
Senate Majority Leader John Thune has invoked the NUCLEAR option.
.
Thursday’s vote came following Senate Republicans’ vote to cut the confirmation threshold from 60 to a simple majority to expedite the confirmation of non-cabinet and non-judicial nominees as a group and allow Senate Republicans to move multiple nominees with a simple majority vote.
.
The GOP effort to use the ‘nuclear option’ was unanimous and joined by even RINOs Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK).
.
Before the vote, Thune noted, “Republicans have fixed a broken process.”
.
KEEP PUSHING! They must ALL be confirmed.
