Published | Video Starts at 01:16

Senator Klobuchar and Senator King, when they introduced their resolution, their legislation in 2023, they did it at a time when 62% of Joe Biden's nominees had been confirmed by unanimous consent and by voice vote. At this point, eight months into the Trump term, zero. Absolutely zero nominees have been confirmed by voice vote or unanimous consent. And as a result, it is time to return to the historic role of the Senate of advise and consent. And to do that, Senate Republicans are committed to changing the rules. (01:16–01:27)
