In a fiery outburst, Senator John Kennedy has branded the upcoming Saturday session ordered by former President Donald Trump as “organized grab ass,” igniting a storm of controversy in the Senate. The session, set to span ten hours with votes on nominees every two hours, has been described by Kennedy as “pointless,” raising questions about the effectiveness and purpose of this political maneuver.
Kennedy did not hold back during an impromptu press briefing, expressing frustration over the session’s lack of substance. “I’ll stay here until the second coming if that’s what they want,” he declared, but he underscored the futility of the exercise, urging for more meaningful work instead of what he perceives as a waste of time.
Tensions are palpable as negotiations unfold behind closed doors, with Kennedy revealing that President Biden is reportedly in direct talks with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer. Sources indicate that Schumer is demanding funding that only the president can authorize, but the specifics remain murky. “What it is, how much it is, what it’s for—I’m not saying money for him personally,” Kennedy clarified, hinting at the complexities of the negotiations.
As the clock ticks down to the Saturday session, the Senate is bracing for a showdown that could either lead to significant breakthroughs or exacerbate existing divisions. Kennedy’s blunt remarks reflect a growing impatience among lawmakers, suggesting that the stakes are higher than mere procedural votes. With both sides gearing up for a battle of wills, the outcome remains uncertain, but one thing is clear: the political landscape is heating up, and all eyes will be on the Senate this weekend.
