Normally, on inauguration day, the President gets a substantial number of people confirmed to his Cabinet. The idea is to let the President get his team in place so then they can go about hitting the ground running. President Obama had six of his Cabinet Secretaries confirmed on Inauguration Day in 2009. All of them were confirmed by voice vote. They didn't even have to do a rollcall. People agreed, in a bipartisan way, to let the President have his nominees. Republicans in the Senate did nothing to try to block any of those Cabinet Secretaries for President Obama. We understood it is best to give the new President a chance and for all of us to work together when we can. President George Bush had seven people nominated and confirmed on his first day in office. That is the way it usually worked but not anymore. Now, Democrats aren't interested in giving a Republican President a chance. They weren't interested in working together. Last January, President Trump only had two people confirmed to his Cabinet on inauguration day.…”
