From link: And since when do even a “president elect”’s nominees get a hearing before inauguration? What gives?
“They [Biden’s nominees] aren’t all going to pass on a voice vote, and they aren’t all going to make it, but I will put them on the floor,” he told Scott Jennings, an opinion contributor for Louisville Courier-Journal.
McConnell criticized the Democrats for treating President Donald Trump’s nominees badly and vowed he will not do the same to Biden’s nominees.
“Well, first of all, I am going to treat him a hell of a lot better than Chuck Schumer ever treated Donald Trump,” he told Jennings.
McConnell’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Several of Biden’s nominees are likely to draw ire from the Republican side. One is Neera Tanden, a partisan Democratic operative who was nominated as the director of the White House’s Office of Management and Budget. Biden’s nominee for secretary of Health and Human Services, Xavier Becerra, may also have a hard time getting through the Senate because of his pro-abortion record.
