Trump’s Allies Slow the Senate

“A group of conservative Republicans is unveiling a new effort to jam up the Senate floor in protest of former President Donald Trump’s conviction in the New York hush-money trial,” Punchbowl News reports.

“Five of Trump’s closest Senate allies are slated to announce Thursday that they’ll block swift confirmation of nearly four dozen of President Joe Biden’s nominees to various positions throughout the federal government.”

“This represents a significant expansion of an existing pledge by Trump allies to stall Democratic-led initiatives — both legislation and nominations — on the Senate floor.”
