Oops! 😡 Chuck Schumer just confirmed a lifetime federal judge in a 50-48 vote. The 50-50 tie to block the confirmation was not possible due to the absence of Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Mike Braun.
Harris is currently on vacation in Hawaii, so she couldn't cast the deciding vote.
Despite his busy schedule, Vice President-elect Senator JD Vance still found time to attend the vote. Where were Ted Cruz and Mike Braun? We had a chance to stop this nomination, or at least slow down Schumer. If Republicans had pushed for confirmation as quickly as Schumer did, every Democratic senator would have been there.
Really, Ted Cruz just won his re-election to the Senate and forgot how tight the previous election was, and that seat was almost taken away by his left-wing Democratic opponent. What a shrewd egoist! 😡
Why are Republicans always so spineless at critical moments? ! 😡😡😡 Yesterday, Trump issued a statement reminding Republican senators not to let the judicial appointment pass easily. $BEL
