Senator JD Vance, 6 GOP Senators Block Biden's 44 Nominations

Jun 13, 2024, 01:46 PM

Senator JD Vance, who is on President Trump's shortlist for Vice President, is leading an effort in the Senate to block 44 of President Biden's nominations, many of which are connected to lawfare and include positions in the Department of Justice. So far, 6 GOP senators are involved in this effort. This move comes as Trump allies in the Senate, including Vance, aim to expand efforts to obstruct Biden's nominees, following Trump's complaints about insufficient aggression from congressional Republicans post-conviction. The White House is set to announce nominees for the FDIC and Treasury today. Despite federal charges and a recent guilty verdict in an unrelated hush money trial, Trump, the GOP's presumptive nominee, is scheduled to speak at the National Republican Senatorial Committee today.
