GOP Senators Lash Out at Vance and Rubio

“Republican senators expressed frustration Tuesday with their colleagues who’ve been skipping Senate votes, arguing it effectively neutralizes their strategy to slow-walk or even potentially defeat President Joe Biden’s judicial nominees during the lame-duck session,” Punchbowl News reports.

“At a closed-door lunch, GOP senators took particular aim at Vice President-elect JD Vance and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), according to three attendees. Vance has been absent since he was named as President-elect Donald Trump’s running mate over the summer, which is customary. Rubio hasn’t voted since his nomination for secretary of State was made official last week.”
