Our Senate Is MIA: Missing In August (ft. Rachel Bovard)

This week on Moment of Truth, Nick sits down with Rachel Bovard, Vice President of Programs at the Conservative Partnership Institute, for a deep dive into the U.S. Senate’s inner workings. Rachel became a seasoned Senate expert working under Sen. Mike Lee and was a thorn in Mitch McConnell's side. Here she unpacks the post-nuclear era of confirmations, exposing why 140 civilian nominations languish despite a streamlined process and revealing the inefficiencies and power plays stalling progress. Rachel discusses Majority Leader John Thune’s role, the impact of Democratic obstruction (it's less than Republicans would have you believe), and how senators’ aversion to work hinders critical appointments. This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about Washington’s gridlock.
