GOP Senate on track to confirm a record number of nominees – clearing 90% of the civilian nominee backlog

@SoDakCampaigns

While Senate Democrats attempt to obstruct government, Republicans in the US Senate led by South Dakota Senator and Majority Leader John Thune are on track to confirm a record number of nominees, according to Fox News:

Senate Republicans inched closer to history Wednesday after blowing past yet another procedural obstacle on their way to confirming nearly 100 of President Donald Trump’s nominees.

As part of their mad dash from Washington ahead of the upcoming holiday recess, Senate Republicans advanced a tranche of 97 of Trump’s picks. The 53-47 party-line vote puts the GOP one step away from confirming the batch of nominees.

Read that here.

The Senate reports that they’re going to approve 417 total confirmations in 2025– clearing +90% of the civilian nominee backlog.  In year 1: Joe Biden got 41% of his civilian nominees, while Trump in his first term got 57%.

  1. The worst unqualified ones already got through in the very beginning. I wish the democrats had tried harder to obstruct then. Who cares now? The damage is done.

    1. No. The worst and most unqualified were sent packing last January.

      Fixing what auto-pen broke.

      1. Which auto-pen are you referring to? Trump also uses one, did his whole first term you simpleton.

        2. Also, you obviously have the reading comprehension of a 1st grader….again you moron.

          Get your 2nd grade neighbor to tell you what this means.

    2. If there’s one stinking Ed Martin in service, there are others. OOPS DANG I guess that guy who said “none” is clueless. Just stop posting your knee-jerk flame jobs until you google a few things, or just use your memory.

      1. OK genius should we review?

        Ghost of El Kabongg, December 18, 2025 at 10:37 am: How many nominees were in prison on January 19th? The response was “none.”

        When Copilot was asked, Was Ed martin incarcerated on 1/19/25, here’s the answer:

        –Ed Martin was not in jail on January 19, 2025. He served as the interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia and was involved in various legal matters, including defending individuals related to the January 6 Capitol riot. However, there is no specific information indicating that he was incarcerated on that date.

        When Copilot was asked if ANY Trump Administration nominees were in jail on 1/19/25, here’s the answer:

        –No publicly available or credible sources from the provided data report any Trump administration officials being imprisoned on January 19, 2025.

        So again, the answer is NONE. OOPS, DANG I guess you are also a low IQ, clueless idiot.

  4. Great, a bunch of know-nothing simpletons bringing little more than hubris and ineptitude are given unfettered access to tax dollars with no oversight. Not exactly a bragging point.

  5. Only the best! Anthony D’Esposito, nominated for Inspector General of the Dept. of Labor (why would anyone in their right mind think being an IG in this administration is a “good” thing. One term member of Congress, caught in not one but two ethic matters: 1)employed the daughter of his long-term fiancee as a special assistant; and 2) put his “side piece” on the office payroll. Both lost their jobs AFTER the fiancee found out – OUCH. On the bright side, he was an outspoken critic of the craziness of George Santos. Of course, the MAGA boss gave out yet another pardon to another deserving and tortured soul, so all of righteous indignation directed at Santos is all for naught.

    Great work Senator Thune!!! ONLY THE BEST.

  8. One more year to wreck America, then they all go to prison. Including nutless enabling lickspittle Thune.
