As the government shutdown continued into its second week, Senate Republicans voted to confirm over 100 of President Trump’s nominees.

From Breitbart:
The U.S. Senate voted 51-47 to confirm more than 100 of President Donald Trump’s nominees on Tuesday, during the seventh day of the government shutdown.
Among the batch of 107 of Trump’s nominees were “more than two dozen ambassadorial appointments,” along with over a dozen United States Attorneys, according to the Hill.
Sergio Gor — who Trump nominated to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to India and Special Envoy for South and Central Asian Affairs — and former Georgia U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker — who Trump nominated to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the Bahamas — were among the nominees confirmed.
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso expressed that Democrats on the upper chamber had “shut down the Senate floor” prior to the shutdown, freezing the confirmation process. Senate Republicans managed to break through, ending the “Democrats’ confirmation blockade” according to Senator Barrasso.
Breitbart notes that Senate Republicans made a rules change, allowing them confirm all 107 nominees in a single vote rather than confirmed each nominee individually. Senator Markwayne Mullin highlighting this in an X post:

Senator Mullin also highlighted that these confirmations came even in the midst of the government shutdown. According to Fox News, the shutdown, now on its second week, shows no sign of stopping, even as the White House increased pressure.
As the shutdown continues, let’s pray for a God honoring solution, and let’s thank God for Senators like these Republicans who are still working to serve Americans in the midst of the chaos!

Praise God for the Republicans doing the right thing in serving this nation with dignity! The Democrats are corrupt and don’t care about the good of this country.
