Deadlock in Senate nomination approval, Republicans may revise rules in September to expedite the process.

[Coin World] On August 2 local time, Chuck Schumer, the Senate Minority Leader and Democrat, stated at a press conference that the Republicans need to cooperate with the Democrats, and that going it alone and trying to change the rules would only harm the interests of the public. Previously, the U.S. Senate failed to fully complete the approval of multiple executive nominations by President Trump. Trump angrily criticized Chuck Schumer on social media for obstructing the nominations, leading to a slowdown in the process. Republicans indicated that they might attempt to amend Senate rules when they reconvene in September to expedite the approval process. According to the U.S. Congress schedule, both the Senate and House of Representatives entered their annual summer recess in August. It is during this time that the Senate plans to hold hearings on multiple nominations, including those for federal agencies, ambassador positions, and judges. Previously, Trump had proposed that Senate Republican Leader John Thune cancel the August recess.
