Sen. Peter Welch just became the first Democrat to vote in favor of confirming a Trump judicial nominee.
John,
Last week, U.S. Senator Peter Welch caved and became the first Democrat to help confirm one of Donald Trump’s judicial nominees in his second term — and we’re calling him out.
The Democratic senator from Vermont joined every Republican in the 53-45 vote, confirming Kyle Dudek to a lifetime position on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. Dudek has an extensive history of defending misconduct by police officers and government officials.
There is no legitimate reason for ANY Democrat to vote for a single one of Trump’s judicial nominees, given the lawless actions of his administration and his attacks on the federal courts.
Helping to confirm judicial nominees who have been plainly chosen for their loyalty to Trump does an incredible disservice to the American people–and will impact our rights for decades to come.
That’s why Demand Justice launched its Senate Vote Tracker to monitor how Democrats vote on Trump’s dangerous nominees, and hold them accountable for reckless votes like this one.
