Controversial Trump nominees clear a path to confirmation

President Donald Trump has a perfect record of getting Cabinet picks who go through hearings confirmed this term, and despite some of the more controversial nominees heading for a vote this week, it appears they will not have significant trouble sealing the deal.

Trump has already seen several of his picks confirmed by the Senate, including some controversial nominees such as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought, but he still faces steps before other controversial picks can report to their nominated roles.
