US EditionSenate Republicans confirm more than 100 Trump nominees as government shutdown continues
Senate Republicans used a new rules change to confirm 107 Trump nominees, reducing pending picks to under 10 amid a government shutdown, with votes split along party lines.
- On Tuesday, Oct. 7, Senate Republicans confirmed 107 of President Donald Trump's nominees amid the government shutdown, including many top allies and former campaign picks.
- Republican leaders changed Senate rules last month to allow a simple majority after a nearly nine-month blockade led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., using the new Senate rule change described as a 'nuclear' option.
- Judge Nicholas Chase and Kirsten Baesler were approved en bloc by a 51-47 vote; Chase will serve as U.S. attorney for North Dakota and Baesler as assistant secretary of elementary and secondary education.
- The confirmations reduced the Senate's backlog of pending nominations to double digits and included ambassadorial picks, senior administration officials, and senior prosecutors.
- Chase said he will assume the U.S. attorney role as soon as President Donald Trump signs his commission, likely in the coming days, and thanked Senator Hoeven, Senator Cramer, and the president.
