Senate Republicans Are Disappointing Out of the Gate with Slow Confirmation Process

Previous presidents whose own party controlled the Senate got their confirmations done in days. We’re at the end of the first week and just getting to the second cabinet confirmation? Come on, Republicans. Get it together. Confirm the cabinet and let’s get to work.

Pete Hegseth, President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Pentagon, cleared a key procedural hurdle in the Senate on Thursday to advance his nomination.

 

The vote on ending debate came down to the wire, though Hegseth ultimately secured 51 Republican votes to move forward.

 

A final confirmation vote on Hegseth could now occur as soon as Friday or early Saturday.
