Schatz Expands Holds to More Than 300 Nominees

Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) is expanding his blockade to include a total of 300 Trump’s agency and department nominees in addition to several foreign relations bills, Axios reports.

Schatz called on his GOP colleagues, “who he said he thinks are privately panicked and frustrated, to publicly push back against the White House.”

Said Schatz: “You can’t be a senator in private. If you’re going to stand up to the president, people have to see you doing it.”
