Senate Republicans are sounding off on Democrats’ obstruction of the confirmation of President Donald Trump’s judicial and executive branch nominees.
“There is absolutely zero reason we should have this backlog—especially with such important nominations,” Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said on the Senate floor on Thursday.
Blackburn was just the latest Republican senator to express frustration at the slow pace of confirming Trump administration personnel and judicial appointees.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, posted on the social media platform X yesterday that “at the current pace,” it would be April 2026 before the current nominees out of committees and awaiting floor votes would be confirmed. Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., chimed in, replying that it was “[t]ime for recess appointments.”
