Senate Convenes, Addresses Judicial Nomination, Introduces Legislation, and Passes Resolutions

The Senate convened for a routine session, beginning with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. Senator Ted Budd was appointed Acting President pro tempore. The session included the resumption of consideration for a judicial nomination, the introduction of several bills and resolutions, and floor speeches from the Majority Whip and Minority Leader. Two Senate resolutions were considered and agreed to by unanimous consent.

This was a routine legislative day for the Senate, primarily involving the introduction of new legislation, the scheduling of a vote on a judicial nomination, and the passage of two commemorative resolutions. No major legislative debates or contested votes occurred.
