U.S. Senate

The Senate will vote to advance President Trump's nomination of Matthew Whitaker to be the U.S. Ambassador to NATO. He previously served as Acting Attorney General during the first Trump Administration.

The filibuster is expected to go through the night, against fast-tracked nominees by the Trump Administration. Booker’s protest appears to be in response to a recent wave of Republican nominees being fast-tracked through the confirmation process, many of whom are aligned with Trump’s second-term agenda and Elon Musk’s increasingly influential role in federal advisory circles.

      I’m reading articles now that say this technically isn’t a filibuster, but a protest speech. C-SPAN called it a filibuster, so I assumed it was one. I guess we’ll see when it’s over.
