In a long article on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused the chief of the minorities of the Senate Chuck Schumer, Dn.y., of “demanding more than a billion dollars in order to approve a small number of our highly qualified candidates”.

“This request is obvious and unprecedented, and would be embarrassing for the Republican Party if it was accepted. It is political extortion, by any other name,” said Trump. “Tell Schumer, who undergoes enormous political pressure from his own party, the radical left the madmen, to go to hell!”

“Do not accept the offer,” he continued. “Go home and explain to your voters what bad democrats are, and what an excellent work the Republicans are doing, and have done for our country. Having excellent recreation and making America again great !!!”

Instead of finding a route to vote up to 60 of the president’s candidates, all of them, who all moved the committee with bipartite support, the legislators voted for seven before leaving Washington until September.

But before the president’s edict, the two sides of the aisle thought they were on the verge of a breakthrough to meet Trump’s desire to see his confirmed candidates and leave Washington.

Head of the majority of the Senate John ThuneRs.d., said that there were “a lot of offers” made between him and Schumer during the negotiations.

“There were several different moments when I think that one or the other or the two sides may have thought that there was an agreement at the end,” he said.

The Democrats of the Senate wanted the White House to start billions of funds from the National Institute of Health and Foreign Aid, in addition to a future agreement that no more claw packages would come from the White House.

In exchange, they would have Greenlight many of Trump’s unusual nominees.

Senator Markwayne MullinR-on., Accused Schumer of going “too far” by increasing the price on his requests.

“We had three different offers since last night,” he said. “And whenever it happened, whenever it is” I want more “,” said Mullin about Schumer’s requests.

He said the Republicans were not caught by Trump’s call to arrest the talks and noted that the White House had been strongly involved in the negotiations.

“You realize that there was, it was never a question of concluding an agreement,” he continued. “They want to go out and say that the president is unrealistic, and because he cannot respond to his base to conclude an agreement as we have done in all the other presidents of history.”

From now on, the Republicans will not continue the play meetings, but Mullin noted that the future of the front with a change of rule to the confirmation process when the legislators return in September were going to occur in response.

The Democrats of the Senate, on the other hand, replied that their offer had never changed and that the Republicans continued to increase the number of candidates they wanted through the line and tried to include in more controversial partisan choices.

“The demand has evolved on both sides a little over time,” said Thune. “But in the end, we never arrived at a place where we had both parties agree to lock it up.”
