When President Joe Biden took office, Republican senators didn’t do Democrats any favors. Now, some of those same senators want different treatment: They want full sign off on Donald Trump’s nominees.
“Let him have their own team,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville told NOTUS. “It’s like a head coach. If you can’t get your own coaches to work with you, it’s gonna be hard.”
Many Republicans — actually, almost half the conference — rejected Biden’s initial wave of nominees four years ago. Two dozen GOP senators opposed 10 or more of Biden’s nominees. Ten of those voted against more than half the cabinet.
