GOP Senators Roll for Biden Nominations
It’s high time for Senate Republicans to follow through on their collective promise to fight for their constituents, American families, who insist upon a conservative policy agenda.

In November, President Trump earned a record-setting 74,216,154 votes. But as plainly exhibited by extensive and resounding down-ticket victories, the enthusiasm was not just for old 45 himself. It was also for the robust and realigned conservative agenda—one focused on prioritizing the national interest and American families—that he helped to forge and advance.
Alas, rather than now defend and fight for that agenda, Republican Senators, who we elected—and, in some cases, reelected—are scampering away, and hoping we won’t notice their cowardice. Yet we do notice. In particular, they’re rolling over for Biden’s cabinet nominees, many of whom are beyond palatable for even progressive tastes, as clearly demonstrated in original research conducted by the American Accountability Foundation.
Dave Catanese of McClatchyDC notes that seven Republican Senators have voted to confirm 80 percent or more of Biden’s cabinet picks. That’s astounding.
Let these Senators be named: Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Mitt Romney (R-Utha), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), and, lo and behold, the Senate Minority Leader himself, Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.). Can you imagine what conservatives might have accomplished over the last four years if 80 percent of the Trump Administration’s initiatives had been backed by Congressional Republicans?
