The U.S. Senate is expected to hold a confirmation vote on Tuesday on John Ratcliffe, President Donald Trump's nominee for CIA Director, Senate Majority Leader John Thune said.

President Trump said he is open to using recess appointments to get his Cabinet appointees confirmed if delays keep emerging in the Senate.

"As I’ve repeatedly said, Senate Republicans are ready to work as long as needed to confirm President Trump’s nominees. Nights. Weekends. Recesses," Thune wrote on the social media platform, X.

N.Y., said he supports Democrat efforts to slow down the confirmation of President Trump's Cabinet, including for key national security roles.

Senate GOP leader John Thune (R-S.D.) is primed to hand President Trump a quick string of wins on his first days in office. Why it matters: Thune and Trump have a complicated history, but the new majority leader is doing his best to start Congress off on the right foot.
