Schumer prepares for possible showdown with Cruz over nominee holdup

Democrats are preparing for the possibility of keeping the Senate in town into Christmas week

Senate Democrats say they are willing to keep the legislative body in Washington, D.C. heading into the holidays if they are unable to come to a deal that would allow them to vote on some of President Joe Biden's ambassador nominees.

Texas GOP Sen, Ted Cuz has been holding up the nominee votes for months, attempting to trade them for a vote on sanctions pertaining to the construction of the Russian Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

"Democrats are working to clear as much of the backlog as possible by consent," said Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. "If we cannot make much progress, we may need to stay and hold votes on nominees this weekend and next week until we do."

The House departed D.C. on Wednesday and will not return until January.

....a Cruz showdown  ....     :2popcorn: :pop41:
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
