The timeline for confirming Biden's Cabinet nominees could accelerate when Democrats take control of the Senate in the coming days

President-elect Joe Biden is on track to take office without key Cabinet members being confirmed on the day of his inauguration, a result of the Republican-led Senate moving much more slowly to schedule confirmation hearings and votes than it has for previous presidents.

The timeline for confirming Biden's Cabinet nominees could accelerate when Democrats take control of the Senate in the coming days. But Republicans, amid the coronavirus pandemic and the Capitol riots, have been slow to schedule confirmation hearings. The first set of hearings is scheduled to take place January 19 -- days and in some cases weeks after those hearings have begun in recent transitions -- with no dates for confirmation set.

That makes next Tuesday -- the day before Biden's inauguration -- one jam-packed with confirmation hearings, with Biden's nominees to helm the defense, homeland security, state and treasury departments all scheduled to take place.

GOOD ! I see no reason to drag things on. Get it done so they can begin their jobs immediately to get things rolling. Let's not have another Trump non cabinet for days ? Weeks ? Please no.

It feels good that Trump will no longer be in the White House spreading hate and misinformation. The constant lies 🤥 was too much to bear.

Please subscribe to cheesy Squad gaming

Democrats wont have control over what is really important which is control over countries that are enemies of the United States. Democrats may have local power but their power wont mean shit when countries who seek to take away America power see Biden as the most vulnerable.

Who cares?
