Senate Republicans may use the “nuclear option” as soon as next week to speed confirmation of President Donald Trump’s nominees, according to Sen. Todd Young.
“Its very difficult for a president to advance his or her agenda if you dont have the right people in place,” Young said. “We want to make sure that the right people, whether theyre judges or mid-level appointees to different agencies are expeditiously processed if they are of a non-controversial nature.”
Young said the Senate could move on it shortly after voting on President Donald Trump’s immigration proposal, which is expected to be blocked by Senate Democrats on Thursday.
