The president-elect said the next Senate majority leader should be open to bypassing Senate confirmation for administration appointees.

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.
