āDonald Trump called on Republican Senators vying for the majority leader position to permit him to appoint temporary cabinet members without Senate approval through recess appointments and demanded they reject any judicial nominations until he takes office.
Complaining that Senate approval takes too long, Trump said anyone seeking the leadership position āmust agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!)ā on Truth Social on Sunday, a tactic that would effectively allow him to place any person in his cabinet without formal Senate approval.
āSometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY!ā Trump wrote.
Hours after Trumpās statement, three Senators running for the leadership position endorsed Trumpās idea.ā
