GOP Senate Makes Big Move For Trump Over Dem Objections

Senate Republicans took a significant step this week towards addressing the backlog of nominees put forward by President Donald Trump.

On Monday, the GOP confirmed 49 of Trump’s nominees, which means that 60% of his civilian nominations are now finalized.

The latest batch includes 20 different positions, comprising a dozen U.S. attorneys, several U.S. marshals, ambassadors, and members from various agencies, including the Departments of War, Transportation, and Energy, among others.
