Senate Republican leaders are aggressively plowing through the confirmations of President Donald Trump’s cabinet officials, officially as of Wednesday afternoon surpassing the pace at which former President Barack Obama’s cabinet was confirmed in 2009. The post Exclusive: Senate Leaders Plow Through Confirmations of Trump’s Cabinet, Surpassing Pace of Obama in 2009 appeared first on Breitbart.
The U.S. Senate has confirmed 18 of President Trump's cabinet members in 31 days, surpassing the pace of President Obama's 2009 confirmation process, which took 36 days for 17 members. This achievement is notable as it was accomplished with a smaller Republican majority compared to the Democratic supermajority in 2009. Additionally, the Senate has outpaced the confirmation rate of President Biden's first term, which took 56 days to confirm 18 members. Only a few more confirmations remain for Trump's cabinet.
