Senate Democrats Thursday blocked the latest group of President Donald Trump's nominees, because one of the picks is not qualified to be included under new Senate Republican rules.

Senate Republicans earlier this year moved to implement the nuclear option for confirming nominations, which makes it easier to confirm large groups of lower-level, non-judicial nominations with one swift majority vote instead of allowing the nominees to be bogged down over a single Democratic objection. 

The Senate has confirmed over 150 of Trump's nominees using the controversial tactic so far. 

Democrats blocked the confirmation of over 80 nominees Thursday because Sara Bailey’s nomination to be the director of national drug control policy requires individual consideration under the rules, because her post is senior-level, per Politico. 

“I just blocked 88 Trump nominees from confirmation," Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet said in a statement. “I will not allow unqualified nominees, this White House, or the President to undermine the rule of law and our national security.”

Senate Republicans refiled the motion later Thursday, without Bailey's nomination, but the next vote on invoking cloture on the nominations will take place next week.
