Senate Tensions Rise as GOP Divisions Aid Biden's Judicial Picks

The Senate is engaged in a late-night session as Democrats push to confirm judicial nominees before Republicans take control in January. The process, which began Monday, has been slowed by Republican procedural tactics. Key votes include judicial nominations and resolutions on military aid to Israel and Ukraine debt relief. Absences among Republican senators have facilitated some confirmations, while Democrats face challenges due to absences of their own members. The situation highlights tensions and strategic maneuvering in the Senate as control shifts.
