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.
This marks the fourth time Republicans have confirmed a group of nominees since the Senate altered its rules last year
Also among the nominees is Stevan Pearce, Donald Trump’s selection to lead the Bureau of Land Management. Republicans accused Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats of obstructing confirmations to limit Trump’s ability to reshape the federal government around his policy agenda.
