Summary
Donald Trump has publicly involved himself in the race for Senate Majority Leader, insisting that any Republican candidate for the role must support his demand for recess appointments, allowing him to bypass Senate confirmation for cabinet positions.
Trump’s statement on Truth Social emphasized the need for rapid appointments to avoid delays. GOP candidate Sen. Rick Scott endorsed Trump’s call, while opponent Sen. John Thune criticized it as a violation of the separation of powers.
Trump also calls on Democrats to halt judicial nominations during the lame duck session.
It was luck that last time he had no fucking clue what he was doing. He still doesn’t, but this time he’s listening to people that see how useful he is in their goals to upend the entire country.
This time he’s just a place holder until they get Vance. I expect them to 25th him within months of inauguration.
If they wait for just over two years to 25th him, they can theoretically get 10 years out of Vance without changing (or ignoring) the constitution.
Nah. I think they will throw him under the bus got a while. Make everything sound like Trump did it, then 25th him a year or two in.
