Tillis’s message is echoed by top Trump allies, who told the Reporter that they do not want the Senate moving on any of the radical policies or nominees of the Biden administration during the lame duck Congress. This comes as Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Ill.), the Judiciary Committee’s chairman, is attempting to push through a number of judges appointed by President Joe Biden in the lame duck. Durbin is also attempting to jam through a number of legislative items and markups.

“The American people have delivered a clear mandate to Donald Trump and his MAGA Agenda,” Jack Posobiec, a Trump ally, told the Reporter. “To ram through appointees and laws now opposing that mandate does not respect the will of the American people and would be deeply un-American.”

“Just as Democrats did to President Trump in his first term, Senate Republicans must do whatever they can to end the Biden-Schumer judicial assembly line and stop these lifetime appointment nominations from moving forward,” Mike Davis, the president and founder of the Article III Project, told the Reporter. “To do that, they must force Democrats to use up every hour of debate time possible. Not just on leftist judicial nominations, but every nomination, even non-controversial nominations. Do not yield to demands from Democrats to speed things along and allow smooth confirmations — require the full use of debate time prior to confirmation. The American people have spoken. Republicans must stand strong.”

Senate Republicans will have 53 seats going next Congress as President Donald Trump retakes the White House after a historic comeback against Vice President Kamala Harris. Sources tell the Reporter that President-elect Trump will have a big push on judges and his legislative agenda right out of the gate.
