The Senate confirmed 107 of President Donald Trump’s nominees in a single vote on Tuesday evening, significantly clearing the backlog of the president’s picks awaiting floor consideration.
Senators voted along party lines to approve the large group of nominees, which included former football star and ex-Senate candidate Herschel Walker and former White House personnel director Sergio Gor. The mass confirmation of the president’s picks comes after Senate Republicans changed chamber precedent to expedite the confirmation process, citing months of unprecedented obstruction from Senate Democrats.

Trump has nearly 300 civilian nominees confirmed following the massive group vote.
The 108 individuals confirmed Tuesday include ambassadors, U.S. attorneys and assistant secretaries, who will staff vacant positions across the executive branch.
Walker will serve as U.S. ambassador to the Bahamas, while Gor will be Trump’s ambassador to India. The bloc of nominees also includes former President of the National Border Patrol Council Brandon Judd, who will serve as the U.S ambassador to Chile.
Trump’s undersecretary of the Navy nominee Hung Cao was originally supposed to be part of the bloc, but was confirmed individually on Oct. 1 due to opposition from Republican Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski. Senate GOP leadership has limited the nominees who can be confirmed in a group vote to those who have the support of all Senate Republicans and pass out of committee with bipartisan support.

The Senate confirmed 48 of Trump’s nominees during an en bloc vote in September. The bloc included U.S. Ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle and U.S. Ambassador to Switzerland Callista Gingrich.
Guilfoyle is the former Fox News personality and ex-fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., the president’s eldest son. Mrs. Gingrich is the wife of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Trump, in his second term, is the first president in roughly a century to not have a single nominee confirmed via voice vote or unanimous consent. Democrats justified their delay tactics in the confirmation process by arguing that “historically bad nominees deserved historic levels of scrutiny.”
