Trump’s SpaceX Trip: Dems Capitalize on GOP Distraction, Approve Key Judicial Nominees
Republican senators’ absences, notably Senators Vance and Rubio, due to a SpaceX launch with Donald Trump, hampered efforts to block President Biden’s judicial nominees. These absences, coupled with Democratic absences, prevented a potential defeat of the nominations. The missed votes fueled internal Republican frustration, highlighting the struggle to impede Biden’s judicial appointments before his term ends. Democrats aim to surpass the number of judicial confirmations achieved during the Trump administration, mirroring a similar Republican strategy in 2020.
