President Donald Trump on Thursday called on Senate Republicans to stay in session instead of taking a monthlong recess in order to confirm his nominees who require confirmation from the upper chamber.
“The Senate must stay in Session, taking no recess, until the entire Executive Calendar is CLEAR!!!” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “We have to save our Country from the Lunatic Left. Republicans, for the health and safety of the USA, DO YOUR JOB, and confirm All Nominees. They should NOT BE FORCED TO WAIT.”
Of the estimated 1,300 nominees requiring Senate confirmation, more than 160 nominees are ready for a vote.
