With just weeks before the midterm elections, Mitch McConnell was able to force through 15 new Trump Judges–twisting the arms of red-state Democrats into going along with his plan.
Daily Caller has more:
The confirmations came as half a dozen Democratic lawmakers, particularly those in red states, were pressed to return home to defend their Senate seats for the final stretch before the November midterm elections.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell seized on the opportunity and made Democrats an offer: let the Senate adjourn until after the election, provided Democrats don’t force the full 30 hours of debate allowed for each nominee.
Democratic leaders were left at an impasse: They could keep their caucus in the Capitol to oppose the nominees — effectively ceding the campaign trail to Republican challengers — or confirm Trump’s judges briskly and risk alienating their supporters.
Democrats elected the latter course, to the relief of vulnerable senators who said the nominees would have been confirmed before the election anyway.
