Cornyn Calls on Democrats to Help Confirm Remaining Cabinet Nominees

Press Conference

Today in a press conference, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) discussed Senate Democrats' decision to obstruct the President's Cabinet nominations. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn's remarks are below, and video of his remarks can be found here.

"We would encourage the Democratic Leader and his colleagues to quit kowtowing to the most extreme elements in their own political party and to work together with Republicans to do what every Congress has done after a tough election, that is, come together and give the President the opportunity to put his team in place."

"It's not a winning recipe for resisting the decision of the voters and giving this presidency to this President and trying to do everything you can to stop anything from happening."

"Democrats and Republicans want Congress to work together to try to move the country forward, and that is what we're asking our Democratic colleagues to do."
