The three men tipped to lead the Senate \u2013 Rick Scott, John Thune and John Cornyn \u2013 all quickly agreed to Trump\u2019s request.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"c59c182f-79af-430f-9c7a-97e57552e7ba\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-1your1i\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:3,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Trump administration: after Homan and Stefanik, who else could be in the cabinet?&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;c59c182f-79af-430f-9c7a-97e57552e7ba&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;richLink&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/nov\/06\/pompeo-kennedy-and-musk-who-could-be-in-trumps-new-administration&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:0,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">It also signalled Trump\u2019s determination to press ahead with his agenda without being encumbered by congressional oversight, which is mandated by the US constitution.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Trump has already given out several senior positions in his new administration. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/11\/11\/politics\/stephen-miller-trump-administration\/index.html\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">CNN<\/a> reported on Monday that Stephen Miller, a senior adviser in his first administration and a hardliner on immigration, was in line to become White House deputy chief of staff for policy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Tom Homan, a former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) in his first presidency, was announced as a new \u201cborder czar\u201d, spearheading his promised crackdown on immigration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">And Elise Stefanik \u2013 a representative from New York whose performance at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2023\/dec\/07\/university-presidents-antisemitism-congress-testimony\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Capitol Hill hearings<\/a> on antisemitism led to the downfall of two Ivy League university presidents \u2013 was offered US ambassador to the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Trump\u2019s demand for recess appointments, however, was aimed squarely at dominating the future Senate. When the Republicans take control of the chamber in January, they will have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/ng-interactive\/2024\/nov\/08\/us-house-senate-and-governor-elections-2024-results-from-all-50-states\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">at least 53<\/a> of the Senate\u2019s 100 seats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cAny Republican Senator seeking the coveted LEADERSHIP position in the United States Senate must agree to Recess Appointments (in the Senate!), without which we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner,\u201d Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/%3Chttps\/\/x.com\/realdonaldtrump\/status\/1855692242981155259?s=12\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">posted<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cSometimes the votes can take two years, or more. This is what they did four years ago, and we cannot let it happen again. We need positions filled IMMEDIATELY.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Recess appointments are controversial. A 2014 US supreme court verdict ruled that Barack Obama had exceeded his constitutional authority when he made high-level appointments after declaring the Senate to be in recess \u2013 though the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/law\/2014\/jun\/26\/supreme-court-rules-against-obama-recess-appointments\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">ruling still gave presidents wide latitude<\/a> to use a clause in the US constitution to make appointments during recess.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Trump\u2019s call was endorsed by all three Republican candidates in Wednesday\u2019s leadership election: Thune of South Dakota, Cornyn of Texas and Scott of Florida. The winner will ascend to the powerful position of Senate majority leader when Congress reconvenes in the new year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The quickest backing came from Scott, thought to be an outsider in the three-man race, though his candidacy has won the support of Trump\u2019s most fervent Maga cheerleaders, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/technology\/2024\/nov\/09\/elon-musk-trump-administration\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Elon Musk<\/a>, the world\u2019s richest man; the broadcaster Tucker Carlson; Charlie Kirk, the far-right activist and founder of Turning Point USA; and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/nov\/05\/trump-healthcare-policy\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Robert F Kennedy Jr<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201c100% agree. I will do whatever it takes to get your nominations through as quickly as possible,\u201d Scott wrote on X within minutes of Trump\u2019s post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Thune and Cornyn, who also signalled their support of recess appointments in posts on social media after Trump\u2019s demand, are Republicans who have both opposed Trump at times in the past. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/feb\/26\/john-thune-donald-trump-endorsement\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Thune called<\/a> Trump\u2019s role in the January 6 riot, when a mob tried to overturn the 2020 presidential election result, \u201cinexcusable\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Trump has not endorsed a candidate in the Senate race, amid signs that his surrogates\u2019 interventions were backfiring among senators, who vote for McConnell\u2019s replacement by secret ballot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">A Senate aide told Politico that the lobbying on Scott\u2019s behalf was \u201cpissing off senators whose votes Rick needs\u201d.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"6dafdb54-6e51-4659-a8c9-c36e4ae6e59d\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-1your1i\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:18,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Trump\u2019s White House circle takes shape amid fears over extremist appointments&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;6dafdb54-6e51-4659-a8c9-c36e4ae6e59d&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;richLink&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2024\/nov\/10\/trump-white-house-circle&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:0,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cSenators do not take kindly to having an army of social media trolls attack them,\u201d the aide told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/playbook\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">A GOP senator \u2013 talking anonymously to Punchbowl \u2013 said: \u201cI really don\u2019t much care what Tucker Carlson thinks.
