Senate approves 74 Trump nominees ahead of recess
TL;DR Summary
The Senate, using a package-confirmation approach after changing rules last year, approved 74 of President Trump’s nominees (51–47) across Defense, Energy, State and other agencies, as it heads into a five-week recess. The package includes posts like TSA administrator and FEMA head, along with ambassadors. The Todd Blanche attorney general nomination hangs on Sen. Cassidy’s vote, with Sen. Murkowski opposing, constraining Trump’s choice. Other agenda items—SAVE America Act, stopgap funding, crypto, and college-sports bills—face delays or uncertainty as leadership seeks to adjourn.
