Senate Republicans are preparing to overhaul confirmation procedures in response to unprecedented obstruction from Democrats, who have blocked President Donald Trump from receiving a single voice vote or unanimous consent confirmation—marking a first in modern Senate history. This coordinated delay campaign has left hundreds of key positions in the administration vacant and forced time-consuming roll call votes on nominees who ultimately receive broad bipartisan support.
In an exclusive interview with Breitbart News on Tuesday, Vice President J.D. Vance expressed confidence that all of President Donald Trump's cabinet nominations will be confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Speaking from his West Wing office, Vance acknowledged the challenges faced during the nomination process but highlighted recent breakthroughs.
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-WY) criticized Senate Democrats on Wednesday for delaying the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s nominees. Speaking on the Senate floor, Barrasso emphasized the urgency of confirming key officials, citing national security and public expectations for bipartisan cooperation.
