BREAKING: Chuck Schumer just confirmed another lifelong federal judge with a vote of 50-48. Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Braun didn't show up to block the confirmation by making it 50-50.
Kamala is currently in Hawaii, so she couldn't have cast the tie-breaking vote.
Senator JD Vance is our VP-elect and still took time out of his busy schedule to show up & vote. Where were Ted Cruz and Mike Braun? We could've stopped this nomination or, at the very least, slowed down Schumer. If Republicans were the ones speedrunning confirmations like Schumer, every Democrat Senator would be in town.
WISE UP! Leave the lobbyist dinners and DO YOUR JOBS.
@SenTedCruz why are you laying out voting against Democrats appointing their judges? You are all mouth when running for election, but when you win, you are useless. @TexasGOP the vote was 50-48, with you and another GOP Senator laying out. Harris was in Hawaii.
@SenateGOP As an independent voter who voted for the GOP ticket, I urge the Senate NOT to approve some of the nominees of President-elect Trump. It is my opinion that Trump is making irrational choices. To name a few, Oz, WWE McMahon, Gaetz, and Hegseth. These listed are shady.
@SenateGOP As an Independent voter who voted for the GOP ticket I strongly urge the Senate to vote against Trump's nominees for Attorney General and Secretary of Defense. I believe that they are not qualified and have recent shady pasts.
