Republicans warn Democrats could block nominees if they win Senate
Republicans say Democrats may block President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court and Cabinet nominees if Democrats win control of the Senate.
The possibility depends on the outcome of the midterm elections.
The Senate confirms Supreme Court and Cabinet nominees.
A Democratic majority could therefore make it harder for Trump to fill those posts.
The warning is about what Democrats might do if they take control, not a decision they have already made.
The source does not say which nominees could be affected or what happens after the elections.
Republicans predict that Democrats will not confirm Supreme Court and Cabinet nominees if they retake the Senate in the midterm elections.
The warning concerns a possible Democratic Senate beginning in January.
The source does not identify any specific nominees or provide a response from Democrats.
