Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso criticized Democrats for obstructing the confirmation of President Donald Trump's nominees, highlighting bipartisan support for some picks despite delays. He pledged the Senate would work 'around the clock' to confirm nominees and accused Democrats of using their constitutional power to delay and deny qualified candidates.
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso on Wednesday said Democrats should stop resisting efforts to confirm President Donald Trump’s nominees.
The Wyoming conservative said, although many Senate Democrats have praised many of Trump’s nominees, they have chosen to stall their confirmations.Mr. Ratcliffe is President Trump’s nominee to be Director of the Central Intelligence Agency. His nomination is completely bipartisan. He received a vote of 14-3 in the Intelligence Committee.What is happening here is shameful. Our world is far too dangerous to delay confirming Mr. Ratcliffe.
“According to a recent Fox News poll, 78 percent of Americans say Democrats should work with President Trump,” he added.All but two Democrats voted with every Republican to support Kristi Noem, President Trump’s nominee for Homeland Security Secretary. Her vote was 13-2. Senator John Hickenlooper of Colorado introduced Chris Wright at his hearing to be Secretary of Energy. Senator Hickenlooper said this: Mr. Wright is ‘a scientist who has invested his life around energy.’
