Trump Says Senate Democrats Have Confirmed Only 48 of His 197 Nominees
President Donald Trump’s first tweets on Tuesday dealt with Democrat obstructionism, the need for Republicans to repeal and replace Obamacare, and his effort to bring the Olympics to Los Angeles.
“The Senate Democrats have only confirmed 48 of 197 Presidential Nominees. They can’t win so all they do is slow things down & obstruct!” he wrote at 7 a.m.
On that same subject, President Donald Trump retweeted an item from “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday morning. The retweet quoted Mark Short, the White House director of legislative affairs, as blaming Sen. Chuck Schumer for “running an unprecedented campaign of obstruction aginst the President’s nominees for high-ranking posistions in government.”
At Monday’s off-camera White House news briefing, Short noted:
It’s July 10th, and we do not have deputy secretaries at the Small Business Administration, the Department of Interior, the Department of Energy, HUD, HHS, OMB, and the Department of Defense. Senate committees have cleared 32 of our nominees who are still waiting for a floor vote.
