Senate Republicans have confirmed more than 100 of President Donald Trump’s nominees in

a single session — one of the largest confirmation waves in modern history and

a defining moment in the administration’s ongoing efforts to reshape federal leadership.

The move came after months of partisan gridlock and followed a key procedural shift that allowed the

chamber to approve most of Trump’s executive branch picks in bulk, rather than one by one.

The sweeping confirmations took place late Tuesday after a long day of debate and procedural maneuvering

Among those confirmed were Herschel Walker, the former NFL star and longtime Trump ally,

who will now serve as U.S. Ambassador to the Bahamas,

and Sergio Gor, a veteran GOP strategist tapped as Ambassador to India.

Dozens of other lower-profile appointments filled ambassadorial, departmental, and

agency roles that had remained vacant for months, a backlog that Republicans blamed on Democratic obstruction.

“This is about ensuring government works again,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said in a press briefing after the vote.

“The American people deserve a functioning administration, not endless political theater.”
