More than a dozen Democratic senators voted with Republicans on Monday to confirm President Donald Trump\u2019s latest nominee, himself once a Republican member of the upper chamber.<\/p>\n
The Senate confirmed David Perdue of Georgia to become Trump\u2019s ambassador to China, an all-important post given the significance of trade and national security issues with the world\u2019s second-largest economy. The vote was 64-27 in favor of cloture, which requires 60 votes.<\/p>\n
In 2022, Trump backed Perdue in his attempt to primary incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp (R), but he wasn\u2019t successful.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is\u00a0continuing<\/a>\u00a0to lose support among one of its key voter blocs, young people, according to a new survey.<\/p>\n Brett Cooper, who hosts \u201cThe Brett Cooper Show,\u201d believes that many people of her generation believe that the Democratic Party no longer reflects their values.<\/p>\n \u201cDemocrats are completely out of touch with their voter base,\u201d she said during an appearance on \u201cFox & Friends.<\/a>\u201d \u201cThey are aging out. We do not want them in Congress anymore on the left and the right.\u201d<\/p>\n She highlighted the aging senators and representatives, including Sen. Dick Durbin who announced his retirement last week, as examples.<\/p>\n \u201cYou see members of Congress like Dick [Durbin] who are so old,\u201d she said. \u201cYoung people feel unrepresented, and they are fed up.\u201d<\/p>\n She believes the Democrats are in a no-win situation as a tug-of-war unfolds between those on the radical left and those in the center.<\/p>\n \u201cIf they don\u2019t like Donald Trump, then they\u2019re angry that their representatives are not pushing back enough. If they are more common sense in the center, they\u2019re angry with how radical they\u2019ve gotten. They just feel completely left alone,\u201d the host said.<\/p>\n
