Senate Republicans confirmed 107 Trump nominees on Tuesday.
After the party-line vote, the number of remaining pending nominees is now down to double digits.
Senate Republicans confirmed a staggering tranche of President Donald Trump’s nominees on Tuesday as the government shutdown continues.
Lawmakers voted along party lines to confirm the batch of 107 of Trump’s nominees, a move that whittled down the remaining pending nominees on the Senate’s calendar to double digits. It also came as the upper chamber was deadlocked in the midst of a government shutdown, during which floor votes have largely been dedicated to trying to reopen the government.
The slate of confirmed nominees included many of Trump’s top allies and former candidates that he hand-picked to run in previous elections.
Herschel Walker and Sergio Gor were among those confirmed.
Headlining the group is more than two dozen ambassadorial appointments, including Sergio Gor, a top White House aide, and former Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker to become the top liaisons to India and the Bahamas.
The batch also includes the confirmation of more than a dozen U.S. Attorneys and reappoints Paul Atkins to serve as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) until 2031.
The move comes nearly three weeks after Republicans confirmed the first group of 48 nominees, all of whom were advanced through committee with bipartisan support.
