U.S. Senator Eric Schmitt (R-MO) criticized Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and other Senate Democrats for what he described as unprecedented obstruction and delays in confirming President Donald Trump’s nominees.

"Senator Schmitt Blasts Obstructionist Democrats on the Senate Floor," read a statement released from his office, emphasizing concerns over the pace at which presidential appointments are moving through the confirmation process.

Schmitt argued that many of President Trump’s nominees are highly qualified but have faced significant opposition and procedural hurdles in the Senate. The senator's remarks come amid ongoing partisan tensions surrounding federal appointments.
