Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) on Monday announced that Republicans may “nuke” the Senate rules to allow for faster confirmation of President Donald Trump’s nominees. 
Thune previewed the changes in an op-ed published on Breitbart on Sept. 8. He announced that “A Nominations Rules Change is Coming.” In the piece, he criticized Democrats for their efforts to slow the process, calling it “delay for delay’s sake.”
