Senate Republicans on Thursday delayed a vote on one of President Trump’s judicial nominees after a determination that they don’t yet have to vote to confirm him.

The Senate was set to vote at noon on Thomas Farr, who was nominated by President Trump to serve on the federal bench in North Carolina’s Eastern District. But that vote was moved until some time next week.
