发帖数: 61690 | 1 Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Democratic Leader Charles
Schumer (N.Y.) have struck a deal to vote on a package of 15 judges and
recess the Senate until the Nov. 6 election.
All of the nominees, including three circuit court nominees, are expected to
pass despite opposition from liberal groups that fought an all-out-battle
to block Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh earlier this month.
The development is welcome news for vulnerable incumbents in tough races
eager to get back home to campaign.
The Senate had been scheduled to be in session until Oct. 26.
Now most lawmakers likely won’t return to Washington until the week after
the Nov. 6 election.
The deal is a bigger help to Democrats, who have more members of their
conference locked in tough races, but it also helps vulnerable Republicans,
such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
“I’m always happier to be in Texas,” Cruz told reporters when asked
whether he would prefer to be campaigning or slowing working through
judicial nominees over the next two weeks. | j*********r
