Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt blocked a request by Democratic senators to pass legislation to protect federal workers from civil service reforms that President-elect Trump has endorsed.

Kaine and other Democrats fear that Trump may attempt to reclassify tens of thousands of federal workers as political appointees who could be hired and fired at will.

Kaine argued that federal workers need to keep their civil service protections to insulate them from political retaliation.
