Trump Pressures Senate GOP for Recess Appointment Power

President-elect Donald Trump is urging Senate Republicans to support recess appointments for his Cabinet nominees as they prepare to elect a new majority leader. Trump, who has not yet endorsed a candidate for the leadership position, argues that recess appointments are necessary for timely confirmations. The GOP, with a Senate majority, faces internal and external pressures, including endorsements from Trump allies for candidate Rick Scott. The leadership race is crucial as it will influence the Senate's operations and Trump's agenda in the upcoming Congress.
