Confirm judicial nominees before the current session ends

For the remaining weeks of the 119th Congress in November 2026, Thune said Senate Republicans plan to confirm judicial nominees before the current session ends. This is a priority for the remaining work of the current Congress.

Context: The statement concerns the current session, before it ends; it does not name nominees. KOTA report published November 11 UTC describes a Tuesday press conference, November 10. This concerns the lame-duck period before January 2027, not a specified new 2027 policy.
