The Republican-led Senate confirmed the 20th Trump nominee on Wednesday, adding to the president’s perfect record of confirmations in just over a month back in the White House.
Jamieson Greer was approved 56-43 to become the United States Trade Representative, with five Democrats supporting his bid and only one Republican, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) opposing him.
“CONFIRMED: Jamieson Greer for @USTradeRep. The Senate Republicans are now 20-0 on confirmations,” Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma posted to X.
The 19 previous confirmed nominees in Trump’s Cabinet, listed by The Daily Wire, include: Other Cabinet members include: Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Attorney General Pam Bondi, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins, Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins, Energy Secretary Chris Wright, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Scott Turner, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought and Small Business Administration Administrator Kelly Loeffler.
The Senate also confirmed FBI Director Kash Patel, which is not a Cabinet role.
Three Cabinet nominees remain under consideration, including Labor Secretary nominee Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Education Secretary nominee Linda McMahon and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), the nominee for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.
Greer’s confirmation also came on the day of Trump’s first Cabinet meeting in Washington.
Though Trump’s nominees have been 100 percent successful before the Senate, some nominees withdrew before heading to vote. Most notably, former Florida Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz was nominated for the role of U.S. Attorney General.
Gaetz resigned from his House seat during the nomination process but later withdrew his name from consideration after controversy.
“I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback – and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,” he wrote on X.
“There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1,” Gaetz continued.
Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister was nominated to become the administrator of the Drug Enforcement Agency and also later withdrew his name from consideration.
