'Obstruction ends today': Senate confirms 48 Trump nominees in a single voteWND By Adam Pack, Daily Caller News Foundation September 18, 2025
The Senate confirmed four dozen of President Donald Trump's nominees in a single vote on Thursday following Senate Republicans unilaterally changing the upper chamber's rules last week.
Senators voted 51 to 47 along party lines to confirm 48 of the president's picks who will serve in positions across the federal government and represent the U.S. abroad. Republican leaders have pledged to continue clearing the backlog of civilian nominees waiting for floor consideration in the coming weeks by voting on nominees in groups.
"Let me be clear. Democrats' obstruction ends today," Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso said on the upper chamber's floor. "Over 100 more nominees will be ready for confirmation by the end of this week."
Each of the 48 nominees passed out of committee with bipartisan support, allowing the bloc to secure simultaneous confirmation with the rules change. Many of the nominees who won confirmation will serve in lower-level positions in the Trump administration, including under or assistant secretary positions across the federal government.
