Senate Majority Leader John Thune responded to President Trump’s request to cancel August recess.
President Trump on Saturday evening called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel August recess to get his judicial nominees confirmed.
Trump called on Thune to work through August to confirm the backlog of judicial nominees.
“Hopefully the very talented John Thune, fresh off our many victories over the past two weeks and, indeed, 6 months, will cancel August recess (and long weekends!), in order to get my incredible nominees confirmed. We need them badly!!! DJT” Trump said on Saturday evening.
On Sunday, Thune slammed the Democrats for obstructing Trump’s judicial nominees.
Thune said the Democrats have Trump Derangement Syndrome.
“[The Democrats] are making it extremely difficult to get any of the president’s nominees through the process here – it’s obstruct, it’s delay – it’s block. That’s been the pattern and it’s Trump Derangement Syndrome on full display here in the United States Senate,” Thune said.
On Monday, Thune told reporters that he’s thinking about canceling the August recess.
“We’re thinking about it. We want to get as many nominees through the pipeline as we can,” Thune said.
“we’re going to be looking at all the options in the next weeks to try and get as many of those across the finish line as we can,” he said.
