Senate Leader Thune isn’t going to do anything about the Democrat-appointed parliamentarian in the Senate, according to Eric Daugh.
He reports that they are just going to try and work around the decisions by the Parliamentarian, but that’s going to take some time:
IT’S OFFICIAL: The Senate Democrat-appointed parliamentarian is here to stay, and she won’t be overruled. In the name of “tradition” and optics, John Thune has declined to set her aside as she strikes down numerous MAGA items from the Big Beautiful Bill. Now, GOP senators are scrambling to work around her rulings to get certain things back in…but the time to pass this bill is about here.
This should’ve been handled WAY sooner. Why is a 2012 Harry Reid appointee still holding her position in a TRUMP TRIFECTA government?!
