Fed-Up Trump Rips GOP Senate Leaders For Continuing ‘Blue Slip’ Tradition Blocking His Nominees

President Trump has finally had it with the Senate’s archaic “blue slip” tradition — a procedural relic that lets individual senators torpedo presidential nominees in their home states for no reason other than partisan spite. And he’s right to call it what it has become: a “scam.”

In a Thursday morning Truth Social post, President Trump put Senate Republicans on notice. He urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) to end the blue slip gimmick once and for all so his nominees for critical U.S. Attorney posts can finally move through the confirmation pipeline.
