Senator J.D. Vance, who is on President Trump’s VP short list, alongside five other Senate Republicans, has announced a blockade of President Joe Biden’s nominees in response to the conviction of former President Donald Trump on 34 felony counts. The blockade targets judicial nominees, U.S. attorneys, and other positions, particularly those who have supported or endorsed the prosecutions of Trump. This move is seen as a protest against what the senators describe as the 'weaponization' of the judicial system and lawfare against Trump and other conservatives. The effort, led by Vance, includes prominent GOP senators such as Mike Lee, Bill Hagerty, Roger Marshall, Tommy Tuberville, and Eric Schmitt. The blockade will continue through election day, aiming to halt the fast-tracking of Biden’s nominees to various boards, commissions, and international organizations.
