Senator Banks Weighs in on President Trump’s Cabinet Picks
WASHINGTON — Indiana Republican Senator Jim Banks is weighing in on President Trump’s cabinet picks.
Banks spoke in an interview with WIBC’s Hammer and Nigel on Thursday, saying that while the House of Representatives has already started its August recess, the Senate is continuing to work to confirm as many nominees as possible. He explained that Democrats are using procedural tactics to slow down the process, preventing the swift confirmation of nominees in bipartisan packages.
“All of these confirmations have time limits on the floor,” Banks says. “In normal times, whether it’s the Democrat president or Republican president, there would be bipartisan support for pushing through packages of a dozen, two-dozen, or more nominees at a time.”
Banks argued that Democrats are trying to unfairly impede President Trump’s ability to assemble his team and govern effectively by obstructing the confirmation process.
