Senate GOP could change rules to speed Trump nominees' confirmation
Senate Republicans may use the "nuclear option" as soon as next week to speed confirmation of President Donald Trump's nominees, according to Sen. Todd Young.
Senate Republicans have been discussing cutting the debate time on lower-level nominees for months now, frustrated by Democrats' ability to demand as many as 30 hours of debate on each one. The Indiana Republican told Hugh Hewitt on Monday that the GOP conference may make a move soon.
"It’s very difficult for a president to advance his or her agenda if you don’t have the right people in place," Young said. "We want to make sure that the right people, whether they’re judges or mid-level appointees to different agencies are expeditiously processed if they are of a non-controversial nature."
Young said the Senate could move on it shortly after voting on President Donald Trump's immigration proposal, which is expected to be blocked by Senate Democrats on Thursday.
