Psaki to Cory Booker: After 25 Hours on the Floor, the Senate Moved Forward to Nominate Matt Whitaker as NATO Ambassador

EXCERPT:

PSAKI: "I was curious, I mean, when you got off the floor after 25 hours, after not eating, not drinking, not using the bathroom, what happened was, your party — the entire Senate, I should say, moved forward on the nomination of Matt Whitaker as NATO ambassador, meaning no one used the power to put a hold on him. That’s one example. Obviously, there’s lots of power and lots of things happening in Washington. But have you had discussions over the last couple of days with leadership, with other colleagues, about the need to take more aggressive steps to block nominees?"
