Luján Says He’ll Be Back In Senate Soon

Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), who suffered a stroke earlier this month, tweeted that he plans to return to work in “just a few short weeks.”

Said Luján: “I’m proud to report then I’ll be back on the floor of the United States Senate in just a few short weeks to vote on important legislation, and to consider a Supreme Court nominee.”

Washington Post: “Luján is not on the Senate Judiciary Committee, so his absence would not affect the committee’s ability to vet the nominee and hold confirmation hearings, which probably would take at least two weeks after the announcement.”
