With a couple of months until President-elect Donald Trump is put into office, he has a request for Republicans. In a social media post on Sunday, Trump posted: “No Judges should be approved during this period of time because the Democrats are looking to ram through their Judges as the Republicans fight over Leadership. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU!” The former president was referring to the Senate Democrat push to confirm as many of President Joe Biden‘s judicial nominees as they can. According to The New York Times, “About 30 nominees were already in the confirmation pipeline, and Mr. Biden announced two more on Friday night.” Senate Majority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer told the outlet, “We are going to get as many done as we can.” Trump’s post has over 25.1 million views, with over 184,000 likes. Trump’s friend Elon Musk replied, saying: “This is essential. There is no other way.”
