Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) has urged the U.S. Senate to forgo its August recess in order to confirm President Trump’s nominees. Currently, 136 nominations are awaiting floor consideration, including nine judicial candidates as well as several undersecretary and ambassador positions.
“I agree with President Trump – the U.S. Senate has a critical workload with precious little time to accomplish it, and it unfortunately demands that the Senate remain in session in August to confirm President Trump’s outstanding nominees,” said Lummis. “With Senate Democrats relentlessly obstructing and stalling every single routine vote, we must show resolve by staying in session to push through these essential nominees and America First priorities. The American people delivered a decisive mandate for President Trump and a Republican Senate majority to implement this agenda – we cannot let them down.”
