John Thune: “By this point in his presidency, Joe Biden had had 121…”

“I don't need to tell anyone here that it's usual for presidents to get a percentage of their nominees confirmed quickly here in the Senate by either unanimous consent or voice vote. That's been the practice for decades. By this point in his presidency, Joe Biden had had 121 civilian nominees confirmed, and 49 of them had been confirmed by voice vote or unanimous consent. 49. Or a full 40%. Mr. President, you want to know how many civilian nominees President Trump has had confirmed by unanimous consent or voice vote? None. 00%.” (02:04–02:17)
