The number of Trump’s Cabinet nominees who are awaiting floor votes.
This includes Ben Carson, Housing and Urban Development, Betsy DeVos, secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, SBA administrator, Steve Mnuchin, secretary of the Treasury, Mick Mulvaney, OMB director, Rick Perry, secretary of Energy, Tom Price, secretary of Health and Human Services, Scott Pruitt, EPA administrator, Wilbur Ross, secretary of Commerce, Jeff Sessions, attorney general, and Ryan Zinke, secretary of the Interior.
Senate Democrats announced Monday that they plan to hold the chamber floor for the next 24 hours in hopes of securing another vote against DeVos.
“Democrats will hold the floor for the next 24 hours, until the final vote, to do everything we can to persuade just one more Republican to join us,” Sen. Patty Murray of Washington said Monday. “And I strongly encourage people across the country to join us — to double down on your advocacy — and to keep making your voices heard for these last 24 hours.”
As of Feb. 2, Trump had more unconfirmed Cabinet nominees at this point in his presidency than all previous presidents combined, according to data from the Congressional Research Service that ABC News analyzed.
The Senate took nearly 100 days to confirm every Barack Obama Cabinet nominee, while George W. Bush had seven of his nominees confirmed on Inauguration Day.
