Senate GOP considers 'nuclear' rule change to expedite Trump nominees
Senate Majority Leader Thune announced that Republicans plan to change Senate rules to expedite the confirmation of President Trump's executive branch nominees, citing Democratic delays as unsustainable. The move involves grouping nominations for quicker votes, excluding high-profile positions, and requires a simple majority. This strategy follows years of bipartisan rule changes and escalating confirmation standoffs, with potential to confirm over 100 nominees soon.
