Senate Democrats Obstruct Confirmation Floor Votes For President Trump’s Nominees

Senate Republicans are enraged over Senate Democrats slow-walking President Trump’s nominee’s confirmation floor votes. As of Wednesday morning, President Trump’s Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, still had not scheduled a confirmation floor vote despite the Senate Armed Services Committee approving Hegseth’s nomination for a floor vote on Monday. Senate Democrats’ slow walking of Trump’s nominees is having a drastic impact as confirmation hearings for other nominees like Kash Patel can not begin until nominees like Hegseth and Bondi are voted on. Senate Democrats are determined to obstruct President Trump’s secure border policies, which is why they are slow-walking Hegseth and other Trump nominee’s floor votes. Senate Republicans need to band together and break through the Senate Democrats’ gridlock.

On Tuesday night, Senate Majority Leader John Thune threatened to keep the Senate in session over the weekend if Senate Democrats did not stop their slow-walking efforts, which resulted in President Trump’s nominees’ floor confirmation votes being held up in limbo. Thune posted to X, “As I’ve repeatedly said, Senate Republicans are ready to work as long as needed to confirm President Trump’s nominees. Nights. Weekends. Recesses.”

Florida United States Senator Rick Scott also criticized Senate Democrats’ obstruction efforts, posting, “On Jan. 20, 2021, Joe Biden took office and nominated Lloyd Austin to lead the DoD. On Jan. 22, 2021, the Senate confirmed him. Well, it’s Jan. 22nd, and Democrats STILL won’t allow @PeteHegseth ’s confirmation vote on the floor without forcing Republicans into a days-long procedure—enough of Democrats’ games. President Trump needs Pete and his entire cabinet confirmed ASAP.”

Senate Democrats are determined to obstruct President Trump’s secure border policies, which is why they are slow-walking Hegseth and other Trump nominee’s floor votes. It is important to note that Senate Armed Services Member Elizabeth Warren refused to answer Loomer Unleashed’s question, “What qualifies you to vote against Pete Hegseth when you support dangerous open border policies?”

Last Tuesday, Warren called Hegseth on X “the most unqualified Defense Secretary nominee in US history…How can we trust him to protect our national security?”

It is interesting that Warren chooses to attack Hegseth’s qualifications when Warren supports dangerous open border policies. Warren once referred to mass deportations as a policy that is “going in the wrong direction,” posting, “Republican demands are so extreme that if passed they would be the most severe immigration restriction since the 1920s racial quota laws. Mass deportations & gutting the asylum system not only betray our values, but create more chaos at the border. This is the wrong direction.”

Warren also attacked Trump’s Remain in Mexico, posting, “The Remain in Mexico policy is cruel, puts vulnerable people’s lives at risk, and should be done away with immediately. We’re now a step closer to reversing Donald Trump’s ineffective and dangerous border policies, and we must continue restoring a humane asylum system.”

It is clear that Senate Democrats only want to obstruct Trump’s nominees in an effort to save Kamala Harris’s open borders. Republican Senators must stand united against the Senate Democrats’ obstruction efforts.
