McConnell Discusses Senate Work To Be Completed By Labor Day
August 23, 2018
‘So we returned to work to pass more legislation and to confirm more nominees. That’s just what we’ve done, and it’s just what we’ll continue to do. This week, we will conclude the hugely important appropriations bills before us. And after that, we will turn to the 17 nominees on whom I filed cloture yesterday. They’re a variety of impressive men and women whom the president has asked to serve in the judiciary and the executive branch. None are particularly controversial. All are qualified. No more obstruction, no more delays – it’s time to confirm them all. And the Senate will continue to work right through August until every one of them is confirmed.’
