Thune Confident on Key Trump Nominees | US News
Description
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is upbeat about two key Trump nominees—Attorney General and Director of National Intelligence—both poised for confirmation before August’s Senate break. Thune praised the progress of both nominees’ hearings, calling the Attorney General pick’s background and recent work on gangs, drugs, and immigration strong, despite past questions over a Justice Department fund. The Intelligence nominee, a former SEC chief with bipartisan backing, faces Democratic pushback but Thune remains confident. He blames Democrats for procedural delays, insisting Republicans are moving forward despite what he calls unprecedented obstruction.
