Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., has urged his caucus to be assertive during the confirmation hearings for President-elect Trump's nominees, which are set to begin this week. Schumer emphasized the importance of questioning the nominees about how they plan to implement Trump's campaign promises and agenda.
The Democrats view these hearings as an opportunity to hold Trump's selections accountable on key issues that resonate with working-class Americans, a crucial voting bloc in recent elections. They intend to thoroughly examine the backgrounds of the nominees and establish a record of any potential concerns early on.
