Senate Majority Leader John Thune has initiated the process to schedule confirmation votes for several nominees next week. Among the nominees are Tulsi Gabbard, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Howard Lutnick, Kelly Loeffler, and Brooke Rollins.



During the proceedings, Democrats utilized procedural tactics to impede Thune's efforts to file cloture and bring an end to the debate surrounding all the nominees. This resistance from the Democrats signals their opposition specifically towards the nominations of Gabbard and Kennedy.
