Conservative senators have sent a letter to Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY)
demanding that lawmakers confirm President Donald Trump’s 271 outstanding nominations
and pass a spending bill before the August recess or skip the break altogether.
Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) spearheaded the letter, which was also signed by Sens. Bill
Cassidy (R-LA), Ted Cruz (R-TX), Steve Daines (R-MT), Joni Ernst (R-IA), Deb Fischer
(R-NE), Dean Heller (R-NV), Ron Johnson (R-WI), John Kennedy (R-LA), James Lankford
(R-OK), Mike Lee (R-UT), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Dan Sullivan (R-AK),
Thom Tillis (R-NC), and Roger Wicker (R-MS).
Will McConnell listen? Does he actually care? I suspect it will be business as usual.
We shall see.
