Trump Pressures GOP to Sidestep Senate Confirmation Norms

President-elect Donald Trump has urged Senate Republicans to support recess appointments, bypassing the traditional Senate confirmation process, to quickly fill key administration positions. This demand comes as Republicans prepare to take control of the Senate following their electoral victory. Trump emphasized the need for immediate appointments, citing past delays in confirmations. Potential Senate majority leaders, including Rick Scott and John Cornyn, have expressed support for Trump's approach, while others acknowledge the need for swift action to confirm nominees.
