Glenn Beck is tearing into Senate Democrats for dragging their feet on confirming President Trump’s nominees. With over , the Senate is wasting time instead of doing the people’s business before their summer break. Beck calls it a slap in the face to voters who sent Republicans to Washington to .
The backlog includes judges, federal agency heads, and law enforcement officials—positions vital to securing our borders, supporting veterans, and enforcing the law. Democrats are holding up these appointments over petty squabbles, refusing to fast-track nominees unless Republicans bow to their demands. “They’re playing games with our national security,” Beck fumes.
Some Democrats have signaled they’ll confirm like U.S. attorneys or CDC directors, but most are holding firm. Beck argues this isn’t negotiation—it’s obstruction. “Why should taxpayers fund a Senate that takes vacations while leaving America vulnerable?” he demands. “These are jobs, not poker chips!”
Republicans are pushing to break the deadlock, proposing a mix of quick voice votes and faster confirmations. But Democrats threaten to force lengthy cloture votes, keeping the Senate stuck in limbo. Beck urges Americans to flood senators’ offices with calls: “Tell them to stop hiding behind procedural delays!”
Conservatives are furious about controversial nominees like , whom Republicans plan to confirm despite Democrat accusations.

Recent confirmations like DHS Secretary and Defense Chief show what’s possible when the Senate works—but Beck warns these are exceptions. “Why are we celebrating basic function when we’re getting on 130+ nominees?” he asks.
The final vote count: ? Beck’s message is clear: “Stop coddling radicals. Confirm these nominees, then you can take your August break.” Conservatives are mobilizing—will they be heard?
