The Bottom Line

Normally, a president-elect nominates his picks for top officials immediately after winning the election. Then, oversight committees in the United States Senate conduct confirmation hearings before inauguration day on January 20th. These committees then refer, in this case President Trump’s nominees, to the full Senate for quick votes before President Trump and Vice President Vance take their oaths of offices.

We will be watching to see how quickly it takes the Majority Leader in the Senate John Thune to confirm all of President Trump’s nominees.

This will be Thune’s first test and the American people are watching closely.

There is much work that must be done to save America, time is of the essence. To delay even one nominee’s confirmation would be a serious breach of trust.

Efforts by any Democrat or Republican Senator to delay or deny President Trump’s team is a slap in the face of we the people and borders on treason.

The U.S. Senate must listen, loud and clear, to the 76,057,063 American’s who voted Donald J. Trump and J.D. Vance into office.

America’s patriots are fed up. Don’t delay!

Do it and do it now!
