"By the numbers: Barrasso compared the nominee confirmation numbers of the past few administrations, in a presentation slide obtained by Axios. The total number of Trump 2.0 confirmations is now at 298 after Tuesday's votes."
"That's more than the 201 nominees confirmed at this point under former President Biden, and the 183 confirmations at this point in Trump's first term. Barrasso's slide included images of Trump representing his administrations, and an image of an autopen signing Biden's name."
"The new bloc of confirmations leaves just 26 people waiting to be confirmed - 16 in the executive branch and 10 judicial branch nominees."
The total number of Trump 2.0 confirmations is 298 after Tuesday's votes. That exceeds the 201 nominees confirmed at this point under President Biden and the 183 confirmations at the same point in Trump's first term. Images associated with the comparison showed Trump representing his administrations and an autopen signing Biden's name. The recent bloc of confirmations reduces the pool of pending nominees to 26. Of those, 16 remain in the executive branch and 10 in the judicial branch. The pace of confirmations reflects substantial progress in staffing executive and judicial roles.
