Washington, D.C. – Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) today called on the U.S. Senate to cancel August recess and stay in session to confirm President Trump’s nominees.
At present, 136 nominees are pending floor consideration, which includes 9 judicial candidates along with numerous undersecretary and ambassador positions.
“I agree with President Trump – the U.S. Senate has a critical workload with precious little time to accomplish it, and it unfortunately demands that the Senate remain in session in August to confirm President Trump’s outstanding nominees,” said Lummis. “With Senate Democrats relentlessly obstructing and stalling every single routine vote, we must show resolve by staying in session to push through these essential nominees and America First priorities. The American people delivered a decisive mandate for President Trump and a Republican Senate majority to implement this agenda – we cannot let them down.”
