More than two-thirds of President Biden's Cabinet nominees are stuck in a procedural bottleneck as they wait to be considered by the Democratic-run chamber.

Biden was sworn into office with more nominees ready to go than any of his recent predecessors. But only seven of his 23 Cabinet-level officials have been Senate-confirmed one month into his administration. Another handful of picks have cleared their respective Senate committees; they're simply waiting to receive a full-floor vote in the chamber. And more have hearings scheduled for next week.
