Senator JD Vance, who is on President Trump's shortlist for Vice President, is leading an effort in the Senate to block 44 of President Biden's nominations, many of which are connected to lawfare and include positions in the Department of Justice. So far, 6 GOP senators are involved in this effort. This move comes as Trump allies in the Senate, including Vance, aim to expand efforts to obstruct Biden's nominees, following Trump's complaints about insufficient aggression from congressional Republicans post-conviction.
