Gillibrand Leads Democrats in Opposing Trump’s Nominees
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York leads her colleagues in opposition to the president’s nominees, casting recorded votes for only five of 53 of them, according to a Roll Call analysis. Her votes stand in contrast to her home state’s senior senator and the chamber’s Democratic leader, Charles E. Schumer, who has supported 20 of the Trump picks who have received a roll call vote.
At the start of the year, Schumer made it clear that opposition to Trump's nominees would be supported by Democratic leadership. He even went so far as to upset his Republican counterpart, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, by voting against the majority leader’s wife, Elaine Chao, a relatively uncontroversial pick to run Trump’s Department of Transportation.
Trump has railed against the slow pace of confirmation, blaming Democrats for “obstruction.”
