Floor remarks by Senators John Thune (R-SD) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on December 4, 2025.

This episode of Leader Time was later updated to reflect Senator Mike Bennet’s (D-CO) objection to the ONDCP nomination Schumer mentioned, and that a vote to limit debate on the en bloc nominations resolution was defeated by 43-37, having required 60 votes to advance.
