The campaign to expedite the confirmation process for President Donald Trump’s nominees by changing Senate rules gained momentum Tuesday after Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso endorsed the move.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has taken a victory lap in August for using an array of procedural roadblocks to drag out the confirmation process for Trump’s picks as long as possible.
