Senate Republicans chose to slow down the Senate proceedings on Monday night in response to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's attempt to schedule additional judicial confirmation votes before the Thanksgiving holiday. The decision to delay votes was led by Senate Minority Whip John Thune, who expressed opposition to swiftly confirming multiple Biden-appointed judges to lifetime positions.
Democrats, on the other hand, are focusing on confirming as many judges nominated by President Biden as possible during their remaining time in the majority. This has led to increased efforts to push through nominations in the lame-duck session.
