Will the Senate GOP confirm controversial picks like Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr.? Here’s the hearings schedule and list of who’s been confirmed.
Trump’s pick to lead the Central Intelligence Agency is John Ratcliffe, who formerly served as Director of National Intelligence in Trump’s first term. His confirmation hearing took place last week, during which he repeatedly said he would not hire or fire employees based on their political views.
Republican senators are scrambling to get President Donald Trump’s cabinet appointees confirmed, promising to vote through the weekend if necessary.
So far, three people have been confirmed to Trump’s Cabinet: former Sen. Marco Rubio as the secretary of state, John Ratcliffe as the director of the Central Intelligence Agency and Pete Hegseth as secretary of Defense.
President-elect Donald Trump's nominees for top posts in his administration are gearing up for their Senate confirmation hearings, which kick off this week.
But moving those nominees across the Senate floor will be no easy feat. It took two months to confirm the 15 department heads who made up President Joe Biden’s Cabinet. In 2017, Trump did not have his Cabinet in place until April 27, or three months after his inauguration.
President Donald Trump has kicked off his second term with a flurry of executive actions on immigration, the economy, DEI and more. Federal agencies are being directed to place all employees working on DEI programs and initiatives to be put on paid administrative leave by Wednesday at 5 p.m.
Pete Hegseth, Doug Burgum and Doug Collins are among the nominees set to appear before senators beginning Tuesday.
The Alaska Republican’s decision Thursday comes ahead of a crucial test vote to advance Hegseth’s nomination toward confirmation.
The 47th president issued a series of executive orders, saw his first Cabinet member confirmed and moved into the White House, all in a day's work.
One by one, President-elect Donald Trump's hoped-for Cabinet is falling into place, even for his more controversial choices.
