On the President’s nominees
The President chooses federal judges, cabinet secretaries, ambassadors and military officers, and the Senate decides whether each one gets the job. Most are confirmed by voice vote, which records no one’s position; in the 119th Congress (2025–2026) the Senate put 223 confirmations to a recorded vote, and confirmed every one.
They voted to confirm 190 and against 1, and did not vote on 32. Those votes covered 513 nominees, because the Senate sometimes confirms many in a single vote.
The ones they voted against
Joseph Kent, of Washington, to be Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Office of the Director of National Intelligence, vice Christine Abizaid, resigned.
