They’re willing to hurt the US to make Biden look bad
The Biden administration has struggled to fill key State Department positions, in part because three Republican senators have stalled the confirmation process: @SenTedCruz, @HawleyMO, and @marcorubio.

Your morning reminder that Senate Republicans are blocking the confirmation of our NATO and EU Ambassadors so as to deliberately hamper global security.

Why? Because they believe global instability will hurt Biden, and hurting Biden is all that matters. https://t.co/2xZC5W6S22
.@SenTedCruz @HawleyMO & @marcorubio harming America & our critical national security interests by blocking the confirmation of US ambassadors to important posts around the world, including China. Differences of opinion are healthy but self-sabotage isn't. https://t.co/KMGup9pqj5

Amid Republican blockade, just 9%, of Biden's ambassador nominees have been confirmed by the Senate compared with 77% for Obama at this point in his tenure and 70% for Trump. @CMcBinDC https://t.co/0Ni4wOAZvf

It is not an exaggeration to say that Little Marco Rubio, by putting holds on key ambassadorships to China and Spain, is undermining America's national security for crass political gain. Shameful.
