Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has slow-walked Trump’s nominees, forcing the requirement of a cloture vote for almost every one of the president’s picks.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said on Monday that he is open to President Trump’s call to cancel the August recess as part of the GOP’s push to quickly confirm his nominees.

The sweeping tax and spending cuts package that President Donald Trump signed into law on July 4 is expected to leave 10 million more people without health insurance in 2034, according to a Congressional Budget Office estimate released Monday.

Trump's former defense attorney Emil Bove faces opposition from former judges and Democrats as his nomination for the Third Circuit Court of Appeals faces first test.

GOP senators said they would remove $400 million in cuts to PEPFAR from the rescissions proposal, which targets foreign aid and public broadcasting, ahead of a Friday deadline.

The Senate has passed Donald Trump’s request to cancel about $9 billion in foreign aid and public broadcasting spending, moving forward on one of the president’s top priorities despite concerns from several Republican senators.

The U.S. Senate will begin voting as soon as Tuesday on President Donald Trump's request to slash $9.4 billion in spending on foreign aid and public broadcasting previously approved by Congress, the latest test of Trump's control over his fellow Republicans.

Trump's $9 billion rescissions package is advancing, despite a trio of Republican defections. It targets foreign aid and public broadcasting funding.
