Democrats still can’t deal with the fact that President Trump won last November, so they have held up every single one of his nominations in revenge. But Republicans have not been daunted. We are on our way to confirming over 400 civilian nominations.

During the U.S. Senate's confirmation of John Ratcliffe CIA Director John Ratcliffe for CIA Director on January 22nd, 2025, GOP Senate Majority Leader John Thune Leader John Thune remarked on the Senate floor, "Do we want to vote on these nominees Tuesday, or wait until Friday, Saturday, or Sunday?" Thune seems to be done pretending like he’s Mr. Tough Guy Majority leader with his bloviation on the Senate floor. Remember when he said he won’t let any Senators take the weekends off until all of President Trump’s nominees were confirmed? The Senate has now adjourned for two weeks, with 221 Trump nominees still awaiting consideration by the Senate. Only 53 of President Trump’s nominees have been confirmed since inauguration. John Thune has been a massive let down. Just more lies from the Republican Party. We will lose the midterms in 2026 if the GOP continues to be this lazy.

🚨BREAKING: Leader John Thune is COWERING to the Democrats who are STALLING Trump's nominees! "It's unprecedented, historic blockade." Why didn't he RECESS THE SENATE so Trump could recess appoint his nominees? This is why Trump is being held BACK, we have a SPINELESS GOP!

🚨 Democrats are in a PANIC over Emil Bove's confirmation. They are concocting BS stories trying to scare the GOP from voting to confirm. This proves that Leader John Thune and Senate Republicans need to GET TO WORK and confirm Trump's nominees! The Senate should NOT BE RECESSING!

As of today, President Donald J. Trump has not had a single one of his civilian nominees confirmed by unanimous consent or voice vote. If Democrats continue to drag out the confirmation of every single one of the nominations of a duly elected president, then we are going to have to take steps to get this process back on a reasonable footing.

It’s been 70 days since House Republicans passed the SAVE America Act. The Senate has done NOTHING. While they stall, Democrats have drawn a rigged map in Virginia and continue to undermine election integrity nationwide. Leader John Thune, get this bill to President Trump!

It’s far less defensible for Republicans to leave town with 144 Republican nominees unconfirmed than it would be for Democrats to do the same thing to Democratic nominees during a Democratic administration Democrats overwhelmingly predominate within the Deep State™️ As a result, when presidential nominees in a Democratic administration remain unconfirmed, Democrats still control the federal government by default But when Republican presidential nominees remain unconfirmed, Democrats retain control—even if voters have just resoundingly elected a Republican president That’s why we need the Senate to clear the confirmation backlog before taking any recess in August

We’ve confirmed President Donald J. Trump’ civilian nominees at double the pace of his first administration, despite President Trump being the only president on record to not have a single one confirmed by unanimous consent or voice vote. Even with historic obstruction from Democrats, we’re getting President Trump’s nominees confirmed.
