Thune to Move 48 Trump Nominees Through Senate on Thursday
Geplaatst: 21 sep 2025 22:31
Senate Majority Leader John Thune told Breitbart News exclusively he has everything lined up to once and for all break the Democrat logjam of qualified nominees of President Donald Trump in the Senate and will move to confirm 48 of them in the first of many big batches of nominees as soon as Thursday.
Thune over the past two weeks took the procedural steps necessary to alter Senate confirmation procedure so as to crumble the Democrat blockade led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who has for the first time in American history prevented the confirmation of any presidential nominees by voice vote or unanimous consent in the U.S. Senate. This unprecedented action by Schumer and Democrats has even applied to broadly popular presidential nominees who have bipartisan support, and it’s these nominees that Thune is moving first up. The 48 nominees moving to final Senate confirmation on Thursday are expected to include people like Trump’s nominee to be U.S. Ambassador to Greece, Kimberly Guilfoyle, among dozens of others with bipartisan support.
After this big tranche of 48 nominees from Trump is confirmed on Thursday, Thune said what’s next is even bigger blocs of Trump picks so the U.S. Senate can clear out the “backlog.” Thune added that Democrat behavior is “almost pathological” in their clear and apparent hatred of Trump.
