A new report concluded that the second Trump administration’s Senate-confirmed officials have experienced the highest turnover rate in recent history, with more leaving at this point in his term than at any other.

In the first 18 months of President Donald Trump’s second term, 27 of his Senate-confirmed officials have resigned from their posts, representing 11.4% of the total, according to an analysis from the Partnership for Public Service. In comparison, Trump’s first administration, which was famous at the time for its high turnover, saw only 11 officials leave from the beginning of his term in 2017 to July 20, 2018.
