Amid the ongoing government shutdown, Senate Republicans have since confirmed 107 of President Donald Trump’s nominees.
On Tuesday, lawmakers voted 51-47 along party lines to confirm over a hundred of Trump’s nominees. The confirmed individuals include many of the president’s top allies and even former candidates.
“Before Senate Democrats shut down the federal government, they shut down the Senate floor – freezing the confirmation process. For months, their blockade created a growing backlog of qualified, bipartisan nominees.”
“Tonight, Senate Republicans confirmed 107 of those qualified nominees and ended the Democrats’ confirmation blockade,” Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso (R-Wyo.) announced.
The Senate voted this afternoon to confirm a group of President Trump's nominees. That list included Herschel Walker (Ambassador to the Bahamas) and Sergio Gor (Ambassador to India).
The final vote was 51-47.

One of the most prominent confirmations was Herschel Walker, who was appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to the Bahamas. However, this isn’t the former NFL star’s first venture into politics — as he was the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Georgia in 2022.
Another noteworthy figure among those confirmed is Sergio Gor. Known for his close ties to the president and his extensive experience in political communications and diplomacy, Gor will now serve as the U.S. Ambassador to India. His appointment signals the GOP administration’s intent to strengthen bilateral relations with one of America’s strategic partners in the Indo-Pacific region.
