Senate GOP Leaders Threaten to Work Through Labor Day

“Despite rumors of an early exit for the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said the chamber wouldn’t be cutting short the August session unless all 17 of the president’s nominations on which he sought to cut off debate Wednesday are confirmed,” Roll Call reports.

Said Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-TX): “To any of our Democratic colleagues who are not here and preventing us from making a quorum, I can guarantee we will be here in session next week because this is important work to get these judges processed.”
