President Donald Trump is urging Senate Republicans to cancel their traditional August recess in order to expedite the confirmation of his civilian and diplomatic nominees. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and other GOP leaders are considering the move, citing what they call 'unprecedented' obstruction by Senate Democrats, who are accused of deliberately slowing the confirmation process. Several Republican senators, including Cynthia Lummis and Rick Scott, have publicly supported staying in session to address the backlog of over 100 pending nominees. The standoff has heightened partisan tensions in the Senate, with Trump threatening to make lawmakers' summer 'hell' if his demands are not met. The decision could disrupt the Senate's longstanding tradition of a month-long summer break, as both parties weigh the political and legislative stakes.
