“I come to the floor having just listened to the minority leader of the Senate come to the floor, and I listened to what he had to say. You know, it has been 10 weeks now that Republicans have been in the majority and the Democrats have been in the minority after the historic victory in November. The contrast is pretty significant. Senate Republicans made promises to the American people. We promised to get the country back on track. We are keeping that promise. We are hitting the ground running, and we are not turning back. Most importantly for our successes, it has been because Republicans have remained united. As a result, we have a list of accomplishments as opposed to what we just heard the minority leader talk about. First, the Senate has now confirmed all 21 members of President Trump's Cabinet, and we did it at a record pace--a faster pace than the Democrats were able to do for Obama in 2009 and faster than they were able to do it for President Biden in 2021. The pace with which Republicans have confirmed President Trump's nominees to the Cabinet-- as POLITICO pointed out today--all completed before the Senate has taken a break. That is where we are today. Historic speed. With his team in place early, President Trump is able to execute effectively and efficiently the popular agenda for which he was elected. The Senate has prioritized confirming the President's national security team. We saw the horrific attack in New Orleans on New Year's.…”
