- Kevin Cramer is placing a hold on all future Trump nominees over the administration's approach to wetlands policy
- Cramer expressed disappointment that the administration is leaving a Biden-era wetland policy in place for the time being, according to a statement shared with The Hill
Why it matters: A single senator's hold can stall confirmations across the executive branch, so Cramer is converting a wetlands-policy disagreement into leverage over the administration's broader nominee pipeline. Coming from a reliably Trump-aligned Republican, the move signals the White House faces internal GOP costs for keeping Biden-era environmental rules intact.
