“President-elect Trump is demanding that Senate Republicans show up and try to stop Democrats from confirming more judges,” Axios reports.
“Democrats confirmed two more judges on Wednesday by 50 to 48 margins, with Republican Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Braun (R-IN) missing the votes.”
“If they’d voted, Vice President Harris would have been unavailable to break the 50-50 tie as she’s currently vacationing in Hawaii.”
