Donald Trump on Saturday applied some pressure to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD).
Specifically, the president took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to beg Thune to do whatever is needed to confirm Trump's picks.
"Hopefully the very talented John Thune, fresh off our many victories over the past two weeks and, indeed, 6 months, will cancel August recess (and long weekends!), in order to get my incredible nominees confirmed," Trump wrote. "We need them badly!!! DJT"
